First lady Michelle Obama honored several of fashion, architecture, and design’s finest Tuesday at the White House luncheon for the honorees of the Smithsonian’s Cooper Hewitt National Design Awards, including Narciso Rodriguez.
Donning an eggplant sheath dress by the fashion designer, Obama stated, “What I discover is that these men and women are some of the most daring and creative minds in the world, from a designer at Google who’s using data and crowdsourcing to create art that will take your breath away, to the former Hollywood set designers who are now creating some of the most unique buildings and interiors that you’ll ever see. And then there’s this fashion designer whose parents tried to convince him to be a lawyer or a doctor or a dentist or something like that. And I’m sure that I speak for all women when I say that I’m grateful that Narciso chose another path.”
