During the documentary, the former first lady also explains that she realized fashion could help her make a statement early on in her career, saying she decided to "embrace the fact" that the world cared about her shoes. "I’d make some impassioned speech and they would say, 'Oh she was wearing an interesting designer dress.' So a lot of it was — okay, let’s embrace the fact that people are looking at my shoes," Obama says. "Not just highlight me and the clothes but who we wanted to be as an administration: forward-thinking, embracing youth, embracing diversity."
She adds, "Fashion for a woman still predominates how people view you and that’s not fair, that’s not right. But it’s true. And that’s when fashion isn’t just fashion, it’s how you turn it into your tool rather than be a victim of it."
