Anna Wintour Covers WSJ and Loves Michelle Obama

I am not the only crazy lady in fashion who has cool people she wishes were in her book club. The mighty Anna Wintour is on the cover of the new Wall Street Journal and in the accompanying online interview reveals how deep her love is for US First Lady Michelle Obama.
"Previous First Ladies seemed to feel the need to wear a sort of uniform, whereas Michelle Obama likes fashion and is very comfortable in fashion. She's happy to mix high and low, and she loves emerging designers. That will do nothing but good for our industry. She wears clothes beautifully. They always look like they belong to her. It's extraordinarily refreshing, and it's empowering for women all over the world... and she is going to send that message to women all over America -- they can wear beautiful clothes and still be taken seriously."
She also hilariously talks about an anti-consumerism aesthetic that she sees at the moment, "to be honest there's been too much product, too much copy-catting, and, probably too much consumerism. I think a sense of clarity, a sense leveling off and a sense of reality is needed. I don't think anyone is going to want to look overly flashy, overly glitzy, too Dubai, whatever you want to call it. I just don't think that's the moment. But I do feel an emphasis on quality and longevity and things that really last."
Too Dubai? Really? Is that how we are describing things these days. Oh Anna. SMH.
