We all know that the First Family loves J.Crew. For the Inaugural activities earlier this year, the entire family sported J.Crew. The family recently headed to Moscow and the two little girls were both spotted in J.Crew. See the video above and the accompany article from the Politico for more information.

J. Crew hawks first daughter clothes
By Carol E. Lee

J.Crew is using Sasha and Malia Obama to market some of its spring and summer styles, in a press release sent …

… to reporters Monday afternoon titled “The Obama Girls Bring Some American Style to Moscow.”

“Malia & Sasha wore J.Crew and crewcuts as they exited Air Force One in Moscow — stylish in their trenches, they also accessorized with ballet flat shoes,” the release says.

The notice includes two photographs of Sasha and Malia deplaning Air Force One with their parents and an image of the J.Crew logo.

It also offers details about the specific items each of the Obama daughters wore on the way to Moscow and after their arrival, including the prices and style numbers for each piece.

Malia, for instance, was sporting the Silk Taffeta Trench ($298) and black satin ballet flats with contrast trim ($98), the e-mail notes. Whereas Sasha, 8, was wearing the girls’ crushed twill trench ($129.99) and girls’ minna printed ballet flats in classic navy ($108).

In the past, first lady Michelle Obama has publicly credited J.Crew a number of times for designing her duds, including the yellow sweater-set and skirt she famously wore on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” during the campaign. And the company took credit for creating the coats and gloves the first daughters wore during the Inauguration.

The press release marks one of the few times the Obama girls, whose public appearances the president and first lady keep tightly controlled, have been highlighted in a marketing campaign to sell specific products or labels.

Earlier this year, the first lady smacked down the company that makes Beanie Babies for modeling two new dolls after her daughters: Sweet Sasha and Marvelous Malia.

“We believe it is inappropriate to use young, private citizens for marketing purposes,” Michelle Obama’s spokeswoman said in a statement at the time, and the company pulled them from the shelves.

The first lady’s office did not immediately respond to an e-mail asking if Michelle Obama had approved the marketing materials. Heather Lynch McAuliffe, the vice president of J.Crew public relations, said the White House did not approve the release before she sent it.

The first family is traveling abroad this week, as President Barack Obama meets with leaders in Russia, at the G-8 Summit in Italy and then in Ghana.

Moscow is the first stop, and according to J.Crew, Sasha and Malia Obama dressed for the occasion as follows:

Malia’s J.Crew designs:
• Silk Taffeta Trench (14968, $298, Buff)
• Satin Ballet Flats With Contrast Trim (16028, $98, Black)

Sasha’s crewcuts designs:
• Girls’ Crushed Twill Trench (13100, $129.99, Buff)
• Girls’ Minna Printed Ballet Flats (16344, $108, Classic Navy)

** They also wore J.Crew and crewcuts flats when boarding the plane stateside — Malia wore Marjorie Satin Ballet Flats (15933, $98) and Sasha wore our Girls’ Minna Crackle-Metallic Ballet Flats (16341, $108, Metallic Gold).

Nearly 100 days ago on Inauguration Day, Sasha and Malia Obama were spotted wearing J.Crew coats.  In fact, the entire First Family wore J.Crew during the Inaugural festivities.  Michelle Obama wore green J.Crew gloves and President Barack Obama wore a white bow tie.

The J.Crew coats worn by Sasha and Malia Obama created quite a frenzy.  Many online shoppers realized that the coats were created just for the Obama girls when they attempted to order it on the J.Crew website.  Now, J.Crew has released the items as a part of the Fall CrewCuts Collection. 

The coats are only going to be offered in one color each.  Both will be available in CrewCut sizes 2-12.

The first coat is the Wool Pique Coat in color Sweet Guava and will sell for $168.00.  The item number is 18767.

The other is the Double Cloth Coat in color Bright Cobalt and will sell for $235.00.  The item number is 18768.

Both coats can be pre-ordered by calling 1-800-591-3745.
