Letter From Rome: Yes We Caftan!

How do you like this look, shown last week at the Fall '09 couture previews in Rome?

The Reuters news service reports that Guillermo Mariotto designed a free-flowing gown stamped with newly elected U.S. President Barack Obama's visage for the house of Gattinoni because witnessing Obama's inauguration via satellite in Times Square gave him "the sensation of flying".

Mariotto went on to gush to Reuters that Obama's "definitely a fashion icon".

The winds of "change" also breezed through the couture collection of Fausto Sarli, who reportedly produced a "made for one person, for one occasion" gown devoted to the luminous new First Lady.

Sarli's spokesperson told Reuters said the frilly frock was a testament to Michelle Obama's "audacity of hope and youth."

If you could afford them, would you ever wear either of these gowns? And which do you think is the better fitting tribute to the President and his First Lady?
