You might have noticed how beautiful the dress Michelle Obama wore on her husband’s inauguration day but might not have paid attention to who designed it. The dress is the brainchild of Cuban-American fashion designer Isabel Toledo, a hidden gem in the fashion world until the First Lady put her on the map.

The down-to-earth Toledo shuns the title of designer. Instead, she prefers people calling her a seamstress because she absolutely adores the technique of sewing.

Illustrated by her husband and partner-in-crime Ruben Toledo, Isabel Toledo’s book Roots of Style: Weaving Together Life, Love, and Fashion shows readers the passions that form the fabric of Mrs. Toledo’s life. A must-read for anyone interested in life, love or fashion or all three together.
