Artfit: President's Day Edition

Today is a celebration. Happy Presidents Day!! If you were given the chance to meet the first family in the White House, what would you wear? Below are a few looks that would be apropos. 

In the spirit of Black History Month we have also taken this opportunity to acknowledge Black artists (painters and designers) whose work fits the bill.

Stay haute!
