Barack and Michelle Obama at the Democratic National Convention.

Michelle Obama gave another nod to New York fashion on Thursday night as Sen. Barack Obama accepted his nomination in Denver.

 
The potential First Lady chose to wear a dress designed by Thakoon Panichgul. The floral Radzimir kimono dress, part of Thakoon's pre-spring 2009 collection, once again signals Michelle Obama has no qualms about breaking with presidential tradition, opting to wear a dress by a young New York designer to her husband's most important speech so far.

Jill Biden, meanwhile, opted to wear a dress and red jacket by Kay Unger.
