Inauguration & Fashion Journalism

There has been heavy media coverage of what First Lady Michelle Obama might wear to the Inauguration tomorrow. Here is an example from ABC News. The First Lady’s fashion sense would have been appreciated by fashion journalist Eleni Epstein who covered my first ladies – including Jackie Kennedy.

Eleni Epstein was the longtime fashion editor at the Washington Star. Her papers are in the National Women & Media Collection.

Here is a link to a calender from the Ford Library which shows the First Lady meeting privately with Eleni Epstein.

My article about Epstein took more than six years to research and write. It will come out next year in a media history journal.
