Move over mum... Malia Obama is a savvy style icon in her own right

While the eyes of the world were firmly fixed on Mr and Mrs Obama this morning, the fashion world had its own occupation. Malia. Aged just fourteen, the president’s oldest offspring has emerged as a style savvy teen with serious swagger. “The Obama girls might be the fashion news tonight” Tweeted the New York Times’ notoriously unforgiving fashion critic “full skirts, bright color, cute”. Clearly keen on experimenting with fashion, Obama junior has inherited her mother’s skill for understanding what suits her. A fan of kooky clothes with a slightly tomboyish age, Malia favours puff-ball skirts, loafers and printed sweaters. Move over mum.
