Label Text:Isabel Toledo was for many years a designer known primarily to fashion insiders. Later she counted Michelle Obama among the women who wore her clothes. A creative force with a deep passion for the craft of dressmaking, she once said, “I’ve never thought of myself as a designer. I’m a seamstress.”
