Obama's Vogue Endorsement

There’s no denying that Michelle Obama has style. Designers are clamoring to get their hands on her, and that cute dress she wore on The View had even couture-seekers fighting crowds at White House | Black Market, not to mention her continuous good style choices from our very own Chicago designer Maria Pinto.

So when we read in The New York Times that Anna Wintour and Andre Leon Talley are on the latest list of bundlers raising $100,000 to $200,000 for Barack Obama’s campaign, we weren’t surprised. After all, tickets to Vogue’s huge fundraiser in Michelle’s honor last month did cost $1,000 to $2,300 a person for the cocktail reception alone, and the following dinner at Calvin Klein’s house cost $10,000 a head.

We hope Michelle keeps up her chic choices, now that she’s got Wintour’s blessing. So far, we love what we’ve seen. Thankoon suit, Isabela Toledo gown, a Tom Binns necklace she reportedly bought herself – it’s refreshing to see such daring decisions in politics.
