>> Isabel Toledo may have shelled out for that lemongrass fabric she used to make Michelle Obama's inaugural day dress - it rings in at $500 a yard - but it's Jason Wu who will be reaping the Fashion Week benefits of an Obama nod.

Elle is sending seven more staffers than it did to Wu's Spring 2009 show - including editor-in-chief Robbie Myers, creative director Joe Zee, and style director Kate Lanphear. Bergdorf Goodman is bringing its entire buying team, in addition to fashion director Linda Fargo and senior women's fashion director Roopal Patel, who attended last season.
