American designer Isabel Toledo is preparing for her upcoming exhibit at FIT, Fashion from the Inside Out.  There will also be a book of the same title.  Ms. Toledo took her turn on the world stage during the 2009 Inauguration when First Lady, Michelle Obama selected her gold dress and coat for the ceremony.  She learned that her dress was selected while watching television along with everyone else.  The Inauguration dress has since earned a place in the Smithsonian.  Isabel Toledo’s creative process is to determine how the fabric makes her feel, and then manipulate it around the body.  It’s interesting to see the many shapes and forms her designs can take on.  From all appearances, the exhibit will be a must see for those interested in fashion.
