Wow, what a night last night, huh? Obama's victory struck me a lot more intensely than I had anticipated, and I was whooping and dancing for joy with the best of them. More than just relief, I felt some distinct jubilation. This will be an interesting term, and I have a lot of hope for America.
Of course, this morning found me waking with a giddy emotion I can only compare to that of a child the day after their birthday when the party's over but there are still presents to unwrap and leftover cake to munch. Not to be too specific or anything. But I flipped open my laptop, set Obama's speech to play in the background, and like the true fashion geek that I am, clicked through to Mrs. O. Mrs. O is a fun blog documenting Michelle Obama's style, and I was a bit anxious to see who had made her dress from election night. (Narcisso Rodriguez, Spring '09, by the way.) Anyway, scrolling further, my eyes were met by this photo:
I like Michelle's style for the most part, I really do, but who could concentrate on her sober suit when the woman beside her was rocking a beflagged dress in a fresh, edgy way? Certainly not me!
It turns out this woman is a well-known artist named Drue Kataoka. Her artwork is definitely noteworthy, but so is her style.
Whether she's clad in a form-fitting black dress, shimmering floor length gown, or silver pants, she seems to have definite flair for the dramatic, as is probably befitting an artist. I really am smitten with her fashion sense; she's one to watch!
That said, I am kind of psyched to see what Michelle Obama wears to the inaugural ball.
And also, don't you think Drue could pull off that YSL bob with fantastic success?

I think, what makes Drue particularly stunning is that she doesn't just wear these clothes, she really works them! In each photo she holds herself a little bit differently, creating a story that's just right for each outfit, sometimes grace, or power, or fun!
Drue's style is amazing, and she's a lovely, warm person as well. You can get better acquainted with her work and her style at www.drue.net and www.valleyzen.com.
Drue's style is so chic. I would love to wear any of her outfits to go with my gorgeous diamond necklace my hubby bought me from www.idonowidont.com for my birthday.
That way I can look like fashion forward when I go downtown with my girlfriends!

Drue's look is totally 'chic unique'. In every respect she is simply something else!
Her look is quite amazing!
I love anyone rocking the 1920's bob.
You are right her style is so unique.
Drue is an amazingly accomplished person – artist. Her fashion style is a casing for an exquisite person inside.
she's interesting, love her style.
first of all i want to ask is Drue a he or a she? and secondly i find Drue cool on what a wears on the photo. i just dont find the hair much fashionable than the clothes.
