The Obama Campaign Goes High End With Designer Merchandise

You may or may not have decided who’ll get your vote this November in the upcoming presidential election, but the fashion industry seems to have made their choice– Barack Obama. First, it was Donatella Versace dedicating her Spring-Summer 2009 collection to the presumptive Democratic nominee, and now the Illinois senator has recruited some of the industry’s best names to create campaign merchandise. Designer Tracy Reese has come up with a t-shirt featuring a stylized version of the Obama campaign logo (pictured above) which will retail for about $80. Other designers who will be shilling out Obama merchandise include Derek Lam, Isaac Mizrahi, and Diane von Furstenberg. The new designer merchandise will begin showing up on the Obama website next month. Will you be wearing designer Obama merchandise this fall?
