Can Francisco Costa Talk Michelle Obama Into Wearing Calvin Klein?

Last night at the American Ballet Theatre's spring gala, Calvin Klein designer Francisco Costa said he thought Michelle Obama has "great taste," stylewise. Michelle attended last night wearing a dress by Azzedine Alaïa. Would Costa try to talk her into adding Calvin to her clothing repertoire? "Yes, of course I will," he said. "Why do you think I’m here? I bought a tuxedo for her." Related: View our Party Lines slideshow.
