Michelle Obama's Smart Sensuality Style Says "Flip It" to Modern Fashionistas

USA Today recently ran a feature on Michelle Obama's unique fashion style. In commenting on how Michelle dresses, writer Maria Puente defines fashion for Smart Sensuality women.

'Sexy' and 'nurturing' are not descriptors typically appearing together, to discuss a fashion icon. Michelle has changed that.

If you follow fashion, we are living through a moment where the Moderns and Cultural Creatives are being clearly defined around values-driven style and behavior.

The Smart Sensuality woman is the intersection of the best of these two values sets.

Susan Swimmer, fashion features editor of More magazine and author of Michelle Obama: First Lady of Fashion and Style, says: "It's wonderful to see a woman can be smart and like fashion."

Mandi Norwood, author of Michelle Style: Celebrating the First Lady of Fashion, also defines the First Lady's Smart Sensuality style, commenting on the purple Maria Pinto sheath dress, we all know and love. It's one of my favorite Michelle Obama looks, as well:

"It encapsulates everything about her: fit and professional, sexy and revealing, strong and feminine, classic and modern, nurturing and authoritative," Norwood says. "It pulls together the extremes of her personality to put together a modern woman."

Smart Sensuality Woman Michelle Obama Knows that Veggies are Good for Feminism

President Obama isn't the only member of Team Obama getting a First 100 Days report card. First Lady Michelle Obama is also on the 'firing line'.

Not to worry. We all know that FLOTUS has charmed the world at large and Americans at home, especially American women of every political persuasion.

Simply stated, we love the sum and substance of Michelle Obama, and that love isn't skip deep. We love her soul, spirit, and stylish ways, her sound judgement and sensuality. Michelle possesses the intellectual brilliance of Hillary Clinton and the nurturing warmth of Laura Bush.

As a Cultural Creative, Smart Sensuality woman, Michelle Obama leads with her senses, in concert with her brainpower. She is a new model of excellence in womanhood, refusing to abandon core female principles, to gain success in the corner office.

Many Modern women don't understand this life strategy, believing that Michelle leaves her fully-realized, best self underdeveloped, because she doesn't operate like a Hillary Clinton (who I supported) policy wonk. (Please note that Hillary is now taking a few lessons from Michelle's playbook.)

Michelle Obama leads the pack in this new 'style' of powerful, influential Smart Sensuality woman, leaving some women confused about her priorities, because they define effectiveness differently than Michelle-Style.

Vogue's Black Model Trifecta Is A Cultural Creative Fashion Moment

Anne here, working on a post about Michelle Obama's influence on black imagery in the fashion industry and popular culture around the world. Please return later.

For early Sunday readers, The Observer UK calls out the fact that American Vogue has featured black models on the cover three months running now. The May issue of American Vogue is always the 'models' issue; hence the multi-female cover.

Never before have three African American models appeared on the cover of American Vogue, or any other magazine in the world (I dare say; can't prove it.) with a predominantly white readership.
