Naeem Khan, an Indian-born American fashion designer who has dressed Michelle Obama, Lady Gagga, Eva Longoria, Beyonce and many other starlets, found himself in a dispute with his former creative director, Lionel Geneste.  Geneste worked for Khan from 2003 to 2006 and at Givenchy before that.  The ex-creative director is seeking $200,000 in unpaid commission claiming breach of contract.  Khan claims Geneste was fired because he discovered Geneste committed "identity theft" by using his boyfriend's social security number.  Khan gave Geneste 18 months to clear up the situation before letting him go.  The case may seem pretty cut and dry but not so, there was much dirty laundry to be aired during the trial.

If there's one person that gets fashion excited, it's Michelle Obama! The fashion world has been following the First Lady since she stepped out four years ago in Jason Wu's white one-shouldered bridal-like gown catapulting the little-known Taiwanese-born designer as a household name.  This time, the First Lady has done it again with Wu's cross-halter ruby red floor length gown putting end to all speculation and surprising all of America who were expecting her to give another designer some exposure.
