Chicago, Jan 27: US First Lady Michelle Obama has come under fire for not wearing an inaugural design by a black fashion designer.
Amnau Eele, co-founder of the Black Artists Association, has told fashion industry publication Women's Wear Daily that she is planning to "file a formal appeal" with Michelle's office about the lack of a black designer.
"It's fine and good if you want to be all `Kumbaya' and `We are the World' by representing all different countries," Eele is quoted as saying at wwd. com, the magazine's Web site.
