Did the president show up at FLOTUS’ fashion forum to remind Wintour or von Fürstenberg that “you didn’t design that”? Asking for a friend.
Representatives from Spanx were there as well:

That earned a special FLOTUS shout-out:
RT @Emilylgoodin: FLOTUS, at WH fashion workshop, admits to wearing Spanx. "We all wear them — with pride."
