Mrs. Obama is most notably recognized as ‘the people’s fashion icon’ because she mostly wears clothing that is affordable to the everyday American but can also go out in celeb fashion as well.

Media outlets can’t even report on the first lady without commenting on her wardrobe.

Just last Monday (March 7th), mrs. Obama made news headlines after photos surfaced of her sporting a two-tone ribboned Reed Krakoff handbag worth almost $1,000. besides her fashion sense, mrs. Obama is also known for her stance on healthy eating and exercise in young people. She now has a campaign running with Disney trying to promote the matter.

Michelle Obama in fashion confession

First lady Michelle Obama talked about food (healthy and junk), fashion, Sarah Palin and President Obama finally quitting smoking in a wide-ranging interview on Tuesday, pegged to the first anniversary today of her "Let's Move" anti-childhood obesity campaign.

Mrs. Obama lunched with 10 reporters -- all women, as it happens -- who cover her the most, including the Chicago Sun-Times. These sessions are rare, only the fourth time Mrs. Obama has met with her print press corps since becoming first lady.

She sat for an hour in the Old Family dining room kicking off a media blitz over a seared rack of lamb to mark the first year of "Let's Move," which is the biggest item on her policy agenda. Next month, Mrs. Obama will be launching a new initiative dealing with helping military families. She's not sure when she will jump on the 2012 Obama re-election campaign trail....

ON FASHION

Mrs. Obama wore a sleeveless Marc Jacobs dress to the lunch. American designer Oscar de la Renta criticized her for wearing a British gown to the China state dinner last month.

Mrs. Obama said she continues to work with Chicago clothier Ikram Goldman; there had been some reports to the contrary.

"I've always bought clothes from Ikram. And to the extent that -- I mean, it's really nothing has kind of changed. It's kind of interesting where these stories come from, that sort of thing. I didn't do anything different. I didn't," she said.

As for the fashion flap, she said: "This is my philosophy. I hope that women learn to wear what they love ... like to patronize American designers, and the vast majority of the clothes that I wear are. But there are a lot of other designers that have cute stuff, too."
