First Lady Michelle Obama Opens White House to Students for Fashion Workshop + Anna Wintour, Jason Wu, Naomi Campbell Lend Expertise

She added:

The truth is that the clothes you see in the magazine covers are really just the finished product in what is a very long, very complicated and very difficult process, as I’ve come to learn working with many designers…..Fashion is about so much more than just a pretty pair of pumps or the perfect hemline….For so many people across the country it is a calling, it is a career and it’s a way they feed their families.

FLOTUS’ camp uploaded Instagram photos, adding the caption to one image:

Thank you to all the leaders in the fashion industry who encouraged the students at today’s Fashion Education Workshop to #ReachHigher in their education.
