While Barack Obama is the latest historic figure, his wife Michelle Obama is not far behind. The first-lady-to-be is already the latest fashion icon.

The fashion experts predict that the the sleeveless shift dresses and kitten heels preferred by the "sensible" wife of the current President is going to be the hottest look of the year and most sought after style statement.

"Recessionista chic will appear in the coming year, with women looking for classics instead of throw away fashion," the Daily Telegraph quoted the Sydney stylist and director of The Beauty Tutor Sarah Donges.

The fashion world is going to be seeing plenty of very short dresses, low-neck singlets with wide arm holes and wide round necked men's T-shirts. The 'emerald green' is the new black for the season, while the gladiator sandels are to be gone for good, according to Australia's Next Top Model style director Jonathan Pease.

"It's gotta be gone. For guys, the dinner jacket is coming in heavy, and that's worn with jeans, pants and also shorts. "We'll see couture shorts. Not your boardies, but expensive, tailored, beautiful shorts.' said Pease. AGENCIES
