CFDA Honors Obama and Nods Given to Jacobs

Wow!

Talk about lifting up the folks around you as you rise.

Michelle Obama will be honored by the Council of Fashion Designers of America for her commitment to fashion.

Along with FLOTUS, three of the designers whose threads she's worn were each nominated for awards.

That's right, Jason Wu, Thakoon Panichgul, and Narcisso Rodriguez were all nominated.

Thakoon, whose latest collection for Target sold out swiftly before I could get a coveted dress, also designed FLOTUS' floral dress for DNC. He was nominated with Wu, and Alexander Wang for emerging talent.

I was glad to see one of my faves, Marc Jacobs was nominated and Anna Sui is set to get a lifetime achievement award.
