Over the past eight years, Michelle Obama has wowed the world with her grace, intelligence and style. While people around the globe have been honouring the First Lady’s top moments during her time in the White House, it’s her impeccable dress sense that leading designers wanted to pay tribute to. At WWD‘s request, everyone from Prabal Gurung to Jason Wu has put pen to paper and expressed their gratitude to Michelle for everyone she’s achieved – and the mark she’s made on American fashion.
