The designer of the most coveted design gig in recent history? A 26-year-old designer named Jason Wu. He has dressed Michelle Obama before: the raw silk dress she wore for the Barbara Walters interview was his dress. Jason Wu isn't a household name yet, but he's a favorite of the fashion world for his feminine designs. On his resume are stints at Narciso Rodriguez and time as a doll designer (the dolls have been sold at FAO Schwartz). For the inaugural ball gown, he created a white chiffon gown.

Jason may not be a household name yet but he surley will be. I think he is a phenominal talent, his design for The First Lady’s gown was absolutely beautiful, soft, romantic, but elegant, and so perfect for her.
