About this listen

 Sharing a new series from one of our favorite podcasts: IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson. On IMO’s special series The Look, Michelle Obama opens up for the first time about her journey and legacy as a fashion icon– in and beyond the White House. Through a series of candid, intimate conversations with her longtime beauty collaborators, fashion insiders, and legendary women–including Jane Fonda, Nina Garcia, Bethann Hardison, Elaine Welteroth, Jenna Lyons, among others–she reveals how she and her team leveraged the scrutiny of her public image to boldly celebrate self-expression, inclusion, and cultural impact. A companion to her book, The Look celebrates an extraordinary legacy of authenticity and representation that continues to permeate culture, politics, and fashion today. In this episode, Project Runway host and Editor-in-Chief of Elle Nina Garcia, guides a conversation between Michelle Obama and African-American Literature professor Farah Jasmine Griffin. They dive into the making of Michelle Obama as a defining force in style: what she wore growing up in the South Side of Chicago, how she evolved her self-presentation in college, and how she stepped into her public image on the national stage as the first Black First Lady.
