America’s stylish First Lady Michelle Obama tells Time magazine that President Barack Obama does not get fashion, according to Yahoo!News.com. “He’s always asking, ‘Is that new? I haven’t seen that before. Why don’t you mind your own business? Solve world hunger. Get out of my closet,” says Mrs. Obama. With the world watching every fashion move Mrs. Obama makes, she keeps cost-conscience critics at bay by making a point to mix high-end designers and affordable mainstream retailers.—QS
