But the former first lady not only spoke it, she wore it.
The golden charming letters on Obama’s necklace spelled the word “STEM.” The necklace was custom-made by Obama on behalf of jeweler BY Los Angeles-based BYCHARI, a source familiar with the purchase of the necklace tells CNN. BYCHARI was started in 2012 by designer Chari Cuthbert, who noted the market’s support for various social justice causes as part of her messaging via a page on the company’s website.
The chain was the top trending search on US Google in the last hour of the convention.
“We need to vote like in 2008 and 2012. We need to look with the same level of passion and hope for Joe Biden. We need to vote early, in person as we can. We have had to apply our mail-in votes today, tonight and “Send them back immediately and follow up to make sure they are received. And then, make sure our friends and family do the same,” Obama said Monday night.
During her tenure as first lady, Obama often recognized small, culturally diverse designers of fashion and accessories.
The opportunity to select Obama a piece from a lesser-known model line often means immediate worldwide recognition for the designer. Many iconic looks by Obama sell out, sometimes within hours of wearing it.
The gold-flowered dress of Narciso Rodriguez that she wore for President Barack Obama’s final State of the Union address in 2016 was sold out in minutes, for example. Perhaps the most notable designer to benefit from Obama’s sartorial selections was Jason Wu, whose cream, one-shoulder dress she wore to the first Obama-inserted ball, making Wu one of fashion’s fastest rising stars by day. . Obama would once again choose a Wu dress, this time a silk red creation, for Obama’s second inaugural festivities in 2013.
The BYCHARI VOTE chain can be customized. A similar chain retails for about $ 300 on the BYCHARI website.
