Purple Pinto (Maria Pinto)

Purple Pinto

(2008)

Company: Maria Pinto
Collection: Dresses


Collector's Notes: Wendy Donahue of the Chicago Tribune noted, "Purple and Pinto prove a winning pair yet again for Michelle Obama. On "60 Minutes" Sunday, Obama wore the "Eme" top and "Rani" skirt in an iris color, designed by Chicago's Maria Pinto. The ensemble is from Pinto's spring collection, but rendered in tweed for Obama, a loyal Pinto client. The sleeveless element was retained from the original design."
