Thome Browne.. A day to remember in fashion and presidential history!

Thom Browne landed a spot in fashion history this morning as the designer of Michelle Obama’s inaugural morning outfit, a beautiful navy silk jacquard coat and dress in a checked pattern that he said was based on a men’s necktie fabric.

Mr. Browne found out that Mrs. Obama had selected his outfit about a half-hour after television viewers, who first saw the Obama family shortly before 9 a.m. He was in Paris, on his way to a sales meeting the day after his men’s wear fashion show, when he began seeing messages. “It’s overwhelming,” he said in a telephone interview. “It is one of those rare moments in someone’s career that you will always remember. There¹s not a word that can really describe it. It’s just amazing.”

Mr. Browne is most famous for his 12-year-old men’s wear business, specializing in tightly tailored suits. His signature design is an ankle-baring gray suit. He also designs collections for Brooks Brothers and Moncler, and his women’s collection, introduced in 2010, is slowly expanding. Mrs. Obama wore one of his dresses at the Democratic National Convention and again during one of the presidential debates last year.

The designer was introduced to Mrs. Obama at a White House event when he received a National Design Award for fashion design in 2012. "She has been so supportive ever since then," Mr. Browne said. Mr. Browne designed the outfit specifically for Mrs. Obama after her office invited him to submit an idea several months ago, but he was not told in advance whether she would wear it. The coat and dress each have a fitted bodice and a slight flare below the waist. “She’s such a strong woman,” Mr. Browne said. “I wanted her to feel good in it and to feel comfortable, strong, feminine and beautiful.” The outfit represents something of a departure from the lemongrass yellow coat and dress designed by Isabel Toledo that Mrs. Obama wore at the first inauguration, both for its form-fitting tailoring and a notable absence of bright color. The fabric, taken from men’s neckwear, suggests a first lady who may be comfortable in designer fashion, but is also ready to get down to serious business. There has been enormous interest inside the fashion industry in dressing Mrs. Obama and, increasingly, her daughters, who appeared this morning wearing bright purplish blue coats of similar shapes. Malia Obama’s coat was from J.Crew, and Sasha Obama wore a coat and a dress from Kate Spade. According to a White House pool report, the first lady is also wearing earrings by Cathy Waterman and J.Crew pumps.

Photo of the Day!

The ever sexy Adam Levine was seen running around dressed up as a homeless man in downtown Los Angeles.

Now Adam is known for pulling on the street stunts-- he's done it in the past for both gay rights and for animals..

Only time will tell what activism Adam is performing currently! No matter what it is, we love his bravery and courage to do what a celebrity has never done before!

Quote of the Day!

"I'm the type who’d be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn’t going to. I'm the type who’d like to sit home and watch every party that I’m invited to on a monitor in my bedroom." -Andy Warhol

Warhol is one of our icons here at Kydd Valentine.. his art changed the face of pop culture, and we hope one day our blog can do the same.

As for this quote.. we can relate.. being a homebody is nice sometimes! We love to unplug!

Alexander McQueen kills it at Paris Fashion Week!

The menswear collection from McQueen for the 2013 fall/winter seasons is absolutely insane.

The late designer's collections have launched us into creative freedom for years.. and even left us fangirling over his dark use of textures and story telling mended into materials.

One of the reasons we're absolutely obsessed with everything Alexander McQueen is the use of color and cuts.

McQueen's suits this season have such a rich texture with the color blocking of different shades. The geometrical color placement is genius and gives that "pop out" look.  The trench coats with button detailing and colored sleeves absolutely make this collection wearable for the everyday fashion forward male.

Blacks, silvers, and reds are so in style this year. We're in love with this trend!

The use of coral for the look on the left above is so effortless and versatile. The choice of color is very rich and romantic, absolutely love the collared shirt underneath.. adds a professional/sexy edge.

One of our favorite looks from the entire collection is the maroon color chic pajama look.. It's very Hugh Hefner and is totally something we'd love to rock. The colors are deep and look absolutely stunning on this model.

Overall, McQueen delivered a solid Menswear presentation.. we can't wait to see what's in-store for the spring!

Selena Gomez sings "Cry Me a River..."

Selena Gomez killed it last night at her charity concert in New York City.

She was seen singing some of her original songs and some covers.

Her rendition of "Cry Me a River" (made famous by Justin Timberlake)left us reeling our heads in confusion wondering if she's trying to giver her ex, Justin Bieber, a message?

Whether that song was aimed at The Biebs or not, Sel looked flawless and sounded so beautiful!
