“Fashion shows are not really my thing,” stylist Meredith Koop admits. “They are beautiful and I love to see the clothes move, but they feel cold and it’s like, Oooo I don t know if I am cool enough to be here. ” Coming from the sartorial mastermind who was Michelle Obama’s personal stylist since 2010 this is both a shock (Koop placed the order for Obama’s jaw-dropping Balenciaga glitter boots after all) and a relief. It is clear that her ability to craft a wardrobe with J.Crew one day and Jason Wu the next stems from a very real place. Koop is the type of woman anyone Michelle Obama or otherwise would want in their court.
