(AP) — Michelle Obama packed a suitcase of her favorite designers for her first overseas trip as first lady, wearing many of the same labels she’s put on the fashion map — including the decidedly unstuffy J. Crew. As she toured London Wednesday ahead of the G-20 summit and met Queen Elizabeth II, Mrs. Obama stuck with many of the labels that she wore during inauguration festivities two months ago — Jason Wu, Thakoon and Isabel Toledo — reaffirming her role as champion of unsung American fashion.
