"Murder, She Wrote" star picks a pantsuit with local connection
Posted by The Times-Picayune April 01, 2008 6:13PM Categories: Living: Fashion By Susan Langenhennig, Fashion writer Former New Orleanians Michele Bernard and Magid Mehrabadi are the husband-and-wife design team behind the Magid Bernard label.Designers clamor for the chance to dress a star for a party or public appearance. On Tuesday morning, Magid Bernard, the small Los Angeles-based line designed by former New Orleanians Michele Bernard and Magid Mehrabadi, nabbed such a notable. Actress Angela Lansbury appeared on the Today Show (Click on Today Show to see video) dressed in a three-piece paprika pantsuit designed by the couple. At 82, Lansbury is no Reese Witherspoon or Jennifer Lopez, so her clothing picks aren't likely to burn up the fashion blogosphere. But her choice to don a Magid Bernard ensemble still earns the husband-and-wife design duo bragging rights and mileage with their high-caliber Hollywood clientele, which includes movie execs and their spouses. Lansbury looked great, polished and serious but a little sassy in such a spicy hue. The Murder She Wrote star clearly still knows what works for her on camera. Lansbury spoke to Today Show host Al Roker about her role as the new spokeswoman for the ALS Association. Lansbury's sister died of ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, typically called Lou Gehrig's disease. The Tony-award-winning actress is now filming TV spots to help raise research dollars and awareness of the dread disease. Before the show, Bernard said Lansbury bought three Magid Bernard outfits, including a white silk pantsuit and a moss green bias-cut dress. Magid Bernard is a made-to-order, custom-fitted line known for its exquisite and expensive European fabrics. Bernard and Mehrabadi are a team both professionally and personally. Bernard, a Crescent City native, met Mehrabadi when both were students at the University of New Orleans; she was studying fine arts, and he was an engineering major. They launched their fashion label in the Crescent City before moving to Los Angeles in 1989. The two return to New Orleans twice a year to hold trunk shows and to catch up with friends and family. http://blog.nola.com/susanlangenhenn...r_picks_a.html
