Isabel Toledo died today...only 59 y.o.

Michelle's dress designer

It's very sad. She was unique. She was able to capture the essence of Michelle Obama's beauty, glamour, and mystique.

The inauguration outfit was a big moment for Toledo, who took care at the time to praise the historic nature of the event itself.

It was amazing...
