If you're a fan of high-profile election fluff, this is your time. In the past week, we learned Romney and Obama both like chicken and Star Trek, and Romney's neighbors long for the freedom to smoke illegal substances in public places. The latest revelation: Michelle Obama likes wearing clothing made by American fashion designers, and members of one of the most wealthy and liberal industries on the planet enjoy donating to her husband's campaign.
A lengthy new Washington Post article focuses on fashion's newfound political clout. The First Lady already has to deal with Marie Antoinette comparisons from the right, and the piece is no help. It lists in detail the many designers whose clothing she's worn in public, including the likes of Michael Kors, Tory Burch, and Diane von Furstenberg, and notes:
This year, the designers behind many of the labels hanging in the first lady’s closet are supporting her husband’s reelection campaign, hosting high-dollar fundraisers and making campaign contributions.
