"I called [Narciso Rodriguez](http://www.narcisorodriguez.com/) about [Mrs. O](http://www.mrs-o.org/) and how she came to wear his clothes.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n If you've been living under a rock for the last year, here's the background: Narciso designed the black and red dress Michelle Obama wore on election night.\\n\\n\\n\\n Narciso has been pretty hush-hush about his role in it all. Seems that a journalist called asking \\\"inappropriate questions.\\\" (Things like what size Michelle wears. Not cool.)\\n\\n\\n\\n Here's our chat:\\n\\n\\n\\n __Me:__ \\\"How did Mrs. Obama find your clothes. Did she pick them off the rack?\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n __Narciso:__ \\\"She saw the dress in the show, and someone called and ordered it for her.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n __Me:__ \\\"She was at the show? I didn't see her there.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n __Narciso:__ \\\"She must have seen pictures of the show....I met Mrs. Obama years ago at the Children's Hospital benefit in Chicago. We had dinner and talked. She ended up wearing a lot of my things throughout the campaign.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n __Me:__ \\\"So did you know she was going to wear your dress on election night?\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n __Narciso:__ \\\"I was so excited and thrilled for that night, and for him to be elected, that I wasn't thinking about fashion. Honest, Linda, I 100 percent didn't think about it. And then to see my dress up there....it was my career highlight.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n __Me:__ \\\"How did you feel about the reaction to your dress?\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n __Narciso:__ \\\"It was a great reaction. It was controversial. It says a lot about her and her choices. This is a modern woman. She's courageous in her choices. Isn't that what great personal style is about?\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n __Me:__ \\\"So what if Sarah Palin had called wanting to wear one of your dresses?\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n __Narciso:__ [*silence...tart words...request to strike them from the interview*]\\n\\n\\n\\n __*\u2014Linda Wells*__"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
