Barak Obama Dnc Speech

You can’t keep fashion out of politics, however hard you try.

The world’s hard-to-please fashion press are concerned not only with the campaign speeches but by what the (VP) presidential nominees and their partners wear. Booth Moore’s “Palin’s Style: Saucy Updo and Rimless Specs,” featured on Canada’s Toronto Star online site, thestar.com, says “style has never been more important than it is in this U.S. election.”

According to the UK’s Daily Mail, “Things You Don’t Know about Michelle Obama,” of 26th June 2008, both U.S. editors and fashion designers excited about the prospect of a White House style icon to match Jackie Kennedy. Rebecca Taylor, a designer, is quoted on thestar.com's “Fashion is Political," September 9th, 2008, as saying “Michelle is really fresh and she could sort of go where Jackie O went, given the right sort of tools and grooming.”

New York Fashion Week Buzz

The month’s New York Fashion Week has already given a mention to Governor Palin’s rimless frames, and fashion designers and stylists, like Tim Gunn and Nina Garcia, are being asked by the media for views on the fashion sense of the two potential First-Ladies. According to TheStar.com, designers at New York fashion week say that they would rather dress Michelle Obama than Cindy McCain; given Michelle Obama’s accessible style, compared to Cindy McCain’s more expensive tastes.

Style Strategies of Sarah Palin, Cindy McCain and Michelle Obama

In our current world of celebrity-obsessed culture there are fashion trends to make, designers to highlight and fashion flair (or the lack of it) to praise or criticize. “This election has so many powerful women on the national stage who are putting their message out with vastly different style strategies,” according to the LA Times.

From Sarah Palin’s trademark rimless frames, to Michelle Obama’s Maria Pinto purple sheath dress, to Laura Bush and Cindy McCain’s Oscar de la Renta convention outfits. Even Barack Obama, in his crisp custom-made DNC convention suit, has been dubbed a “GQ darling” by the Washington Post (September 7th 2008).
