Castelbajacs Obama-mania hits Paris Fashion Week
Posted by v on October 4, 2008
Not for a while, have the worlds of fashion and Politics collided so vigorously. Of course, politics has always influenced fashion and vice versa but never so deliciously shamelessly. Barack Obama has received yet more fashion support, this time from Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, whose sporty sequin dress, splashed with a print showing the presidential candidate, roused cheers, in amongst plastic-coated houndstooth pants, Lego-print sundresses and Mickey Mouse stilettos.

Needless to say Sonia Rykiel got in on the act as did Stella McCartney who distributed pamphlets telling her guests to vote for Obama.
Now we look forward to seeing John McCains sequined face on designer clothing too. As refreshing as these may be, would you actually wear them?
