The First Lady Michelle Obama covers December 2009 issue of Glamour magazine.
Magazine’s editor Cindi Leive explains the reason behind putting Michelle Obama on the cover. It’s not because she’s a fashion icon, but because she’s enthusiastic about children and apprenticeship and helping young women.
This is the first time in Glamour’s 70-year history when First Lady does the cover!!!
This time round, magazine team photographed the cover model in the magnificent Diplomatic Room.
She wears red dress and an amazing necklace.
Some quotes from the interview:
About styles and standarts:
People are always going to have opinions, and people have a right to their opinions, particularly when you’re the First Lady; you’re representing the nation. So I can’t be surprised that people are interested. But I’ve tried to be at peace with the choices that I make first, and then be open to everyone else’s reflection.”
About mentoring matters, especially for young women:
I think that mentoring is such a critical part of the role I can play in this position. I see how little bits of exposure and big bits of exposure really change my girls significantly, and I want that for more girls around the country and the world.
The First Lady’s interview appears in December 2009 Glamour, on stands next week.
