Michelle Obama and Anna Wintour hold first ever Fashion Workshop at the White House

Mrs. Obama said that while the guests — from Parsons The New School for Design, the Fashion Institute of Technology and elsewhere — were lucky to be there, they weren't unique, and success in the highly-competitive industry takes not only clout but determination.

The FLOTUS, who was wearing a dress designed by Fashion Institute of Technology student Natalya Koval, addressed a crowd of young fashion students and reminded them that any idea takes time and risk.
