BY DESIGN: First Lady Michelle Obama will celebrate the 10th annual National Design Awards at the White House on July 24. Adding a new dimension, several of this year’s winners will participate in free, hour-long programs that will be staged in Washington for the general public. This year’s Fashion winner, Francisco Costa, may have a chat with Interior Design winners Calvin Tsao and his partner Zack McKown at The Corcoran Gallery of Art on materials and effects. Launched at the White House in 2000 as an official project of the White House Millennium Council, the annual National Design Awards are presented by the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum.
