Lean Marshall Sketch

(2008)

Companies: Lean Marshall, The Daily Beast
Collection: MichelleObamaDresses


Collector's Notes: The challenge "The Ball Gown Challenge" that took Project Runway's best designers to compete, lead to the winner Lean Marshall. Her sketch of the dress either Michelle or Cindy (at the moment the First Lady wasn't determined) would wear to the Inaugural Ball was the winner. And as Hailey Eber from the Daily Beast stated "they were only allowed to use Laura Bush?s 2005 Inaugural Ball dress, to be chopped up and repurposed, à la Pretty in Pink, an American flag, burlap sacks, and $10 worth of trims of their choosing." So who knows what Michelle would wear that day? Maybe she goes for this lovely gown!
