Roitfeld/Wintour '08


It's no secret that the fashion industry loveloveloves Obama.  Wintour, Calvin Klein and others hosted a fundraiser for him a few months back, which will be followed by another this NY Fashion Week. But now the campaign is pulling a Project Runway and has coordinated about 20 designers, including Isaac Mizrahi, Tracy Reese, Derek Lam and DVF to design official merchandise for the chic senator's campaign.  Rumor has it that Reese originally submitted a $400 silk dress that was shot down because of price (the pieces will be under $200).  I plan on buying the top she ended up creating— though I would have loved to have seen Michelle in the official Obama frock.
