Amnau Eele, co-founder of the Black Artists Association made a public complaint about the fact that Michelle Obama did not use any black designers during the inauguration. She argues that using well established black designers such as Tracy Reese, Reginald Walker or B. Michael could have boosted their careers tremendously. For example, the First Lady's ball gown designed by Jason Wu is now in the First Ladies Collection at the Smithsonian.
I guess anyone would want to have their product worn, talked about or even looked at by the Obamas.
Apparently Amanue Eele's comments were a bit controversial. Strange enough she got death threats a day after making her statements. Also, a well known designer distanced himself from her remarks.
One designer who remains anonymous said, "President Obama spoke about change."
"What about inclusion?" she asked.
"Every African-American designer doesn't necessarily have the capacity to do what she wants to do, but there are enough of us out there -- those of us who are in stores, give us a chance," the designer said.
Does Amanue Eele have a legitimate beef? Is it the First Lady's responsibility to intentionally "look out" when it comes to the clothing she decides to wear?
