12 Year Old Boy To Design Dress For Michelle Obama

First lady Michelle Obama, widely recognized for her style sense, may wear a dress that was created by a 12-year-old Texas boy at an upcoming fundraiser in Utah.

Sixth-grader Grant Mower plans to travel to Utah for a chance to have Michelle Obama test out the dress he designed for her, reportedly after he was inspired by a blooming orchid he admired during a visit to Washington, D.C.

Mower already has won a statewide competition that included high school and college students, and he’s come a long way in his short time as an amateur designer.

“First, I was just drawing little girls’ stuff,” he told WFIE.com. “Then I came up to where I am now, watching Chanel shows and you know, sort of a growth in fashion and maturity.”
