Slideshow: The Runway to Win Collection
Vogue editor Anna Wintour has been anything but subtle in her support of President Obama. She’s thrown multiple fundraising dinners in his honor and been invited to several White House parties in return. Now, with election year officially upon us, she’s rallied the support of the fashion industry with an initiative called Runway to Win, a collection of pro-Obama merchandise designed by some of the biggest names in fashion (as the Huffington Post points out, the project is very similar to the 2008 Runway to Change collection).
Unveiled last night, the collection of graphic tees, totes, and scarves is available for pre-order now, and will officially launch February 7. Right now, you’ll see items by Tory Burch, Marc Jacobs, Beyoncé and Tina Knowles (seriously), Derek Lam, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler, Tracy Reese, Narciso Rodriguez, Rachel Roy, Thakoon, Jason Wu, Diane von Furstenberg, and Rag & Bone’s Marcus Wainright and David Neville.
In the works but not yet available are pieces from Eddie Borgo, Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig of Marchesa, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Vera Wang, Prabal Gurung, Monique Pean, Russell Simmons, and Alexander Wang. Prices range from $45 to $95.
