Remember a few weeks ago when De La Renta whined about First Lady Michelle Obama not wearing American designers and a cardigan to meet the Queen? Well yesterday on The View he attempted to take his designer shoe out of his mouth.
“My words were really ill-chosen words,” he acknowledged. “I did say a lot of very wonderful things. They just happen to pick those words. Anyway, that’s a fact of life.” Sure, blame the media. But Barbara Walters didn’t let him off so easy. She forced him to explain why he said Michelle shouldn’t wear a cardigan. “I said she should not wear a sweater,” he said. “She’s entitled to wear whatever she wants. And I chose my words badly. And I regret it.” He added that he thinks Michelle is a “great lady” and that he said what he did because he thinks Michelle has “a great opportunity … because of her high visibility to do something wonderful for an industry which employs a lot of people in this country.”
Dear Sir, she rocks tons of American designers; but we are a global world, let’s show some stylish love!!
