Christian Lacroix's sketch for Michelle's dress in shades of Blue and Purple

(2008)

Companies: WWD, Christian Lacroix
Collection: Inaugural Ball Sketches


Collector's Notes: This is the 2nd sketch designer Christian Lacroix submitted to WWD. This one's colors gradually go from dark blue to a light shade of purple. It is a turtleneck and is accessorized with what look like diamonds (which Michelle has definitely done in the past: turtleneck with a pendant). While the dress is conservative, it is also very elegant and has a red brooch on the top right. And what's a dress without a pouch? Well, Christian made this dress go with a pouch that has the county's flag. Very unique!
