{Michelle Obama & Print Unlimited from Horst}

When my friend Ellie and I did visit on September 13, the Museum Lace Factory; Museum de Kantfabriek in my birth place Horst, I encountered a poster from our First Lady Michelle Obama. She is wearing a silk top from designer Peter Pilotto that has been printed by Print Unlimited in Horst.
Print Unlimited about Peter Pilotto and digital textile printing. Jos Bastiaans, who used to work with Stork Prints, is now heading Print Unlimited in Horst where they do digital printing on textile for the fashion and entertainment industry.  Below is a photo with Michelle Obama in Peter Pilotto's Digital Print Silk Top . Also Vogue did publish the US First Lady Michelle Obama on November 10, 2009 in British Vogue. Michelle had purchased the top from a store in Chicago that sells Peter Pilotto designer clothes.
I took this photo from the laminated poster...
Some of the volunteers at the Lace Museum misspelled the name Pilotto...
Thought you would find this an interesting story that the US First Lady, Michelle Obama, actually is wearing something that has been digitally printed on silk in my birth place Horst in The Netherlands...

  1. Dearest Mariette,
    Yes, it sure is amazing that she bought a silk top which digitally printed on silk in your birth place Horst. And the designer "Peter Pilotto" said that it was a complete surprise for him she had purchased the top from a store in Chicago.
    I admire her intelligence a lot. I've watched the interview with "Larry King" before!
    Good of Her and happy for you♡♡♡
    Love and Lots of Hugs to you, xoxo Orchid*

  5. Michelle Obama has certainly been recognized for her fashion sense and has brought attention to designers and labels that most had not heard of or paid attention to. She is definitely one smart lady. Hope you are having a lovely time. Best wishes, Tammy

  10. Liebe Mariette,
    ich hoffe, Du hast eine schöne Zeit dort bei der Hochzeit.
    Ich wollte nur ein paar liebe Grüße hier lassen.
    Mein Notebook geht zwar wieder, aber es ist nach wie vor nicht sehr schnell.
    Auf meinen Computer warte ich noch. Er ist zwar soweit fertig, aber ich kann ihn allein noch nicht in Betrieb nehmen, warte auf meinen Sohn, der mir dabei helfen will (da noch einiges fehlt zum endgültigen Start).
    Es kann sich nur noch um Tage handeln - mein Sohn ist z.Zt. wieder verreist ...

    Viele liebe Wochenendgrüße
    Sara

  12. Hei Mariette,

    Leuk om te lezen dat de first lady een zijden stof heeft die bedrukt is in Limburg. Natuurlijk ben ik daar wel een beetje trots op, net als jij...

    Hopelijk heb je een leuke bruiloft gehad en een goede reis naar huis.

    Lieve groetjes,Sandy

  16. That is a certainly a big surprise, a good one, I hope.

    Mrs. Obama always dresses nicely, shows good taste in her choices, and I agree, she is an intelligent woman. I dislike when people unjustly try to denigrate her image. Regardless of politics. I have a lot of respect and admiration for her, especially with all the media and the many racial jokes and comments.

    May God bless and protect Mrs. Obama and her family.

  19. I really like Mrs. Obama. She seems like a very classy, but down to Earth woman. And always sharply dressed of course!

    Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday Mariette!
