    Obama Girl (Amber Lee Ettinger) wearing an Obama historical dress, by Sharon E. Clarke.

    By Nikkigurl  |  Posted January 17, 2013  |  NY, New York
     
    The inspiration echoing the theme, " A new design for America," the dress was conceived as a figurative symbol for the new America under President Barack Obama. As fashion has evolved, so has America; welcoming a new president with fresh ideals and a message to unite the diversities all across America. The Obama Dress symbolizes the vitality of the President, the Renaissance of the national pride, and a generation whose hopes and dreams can move this nation forward. In creating this piece, Sharon carefully created a motif of President Obama's achievements during his campaign season and eventual election in 2008. She did so by carefully crafting the dress and painstakingly added the newspaper headlines in an intricate pattern to achieve the masterpiece.

    His charismatic nature and inspiring essence as a family man inspired her beyond measure and this was reflected in the Obama Dress. She took absolute pride in creating this piece. As she sat in her Harlem apartment creating this tribute to a president whom she loves, she knew it embodies more than the dress can tell; her personal story and those of countless immigrants whom his Presidency not only inspired hope but an opportunity to have a life they once dreamed off.
