Republicans have no style

It’s Super Tuesday and a spate of fashion designers at Fashion Week in New York has informed WWD of their intentions when pulling the lever. And guess what? Not a GOP fan in the lot--though Lord knows the fashion community loves nothing more than a grand old party. Diane von Furstenberg is voting for Hillary Clinton, as is Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan and Oscar de la Renta.

The Obama camp includes Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger. Others surveyed--Isabel Toledo and Tom Ford, among them--were on the Democratic picket fence and only affiliated themselves with a party.

Clearly, Republican fashion designers are as rare as gluttonous models. That makes sense, when you consider the herd mentality of the party. Imagine the parade of dark full suits, florid Christmas sweaters, ash blonde bobs, and nude hosiery we would see on the runway.
