Anna Wintour Backs Barack Obama's Re-Election Campaign With New Fashion Initiative

Anna Wintour has been unwavering in her support of Barack Obama. In order to raise money for his last presidential campaign, the Vogue editor played host to several $30,000+ per person fundraiser events at both her home and that of Harvey Weinstein's. Now that his re-election campaign is beginning to go into full force, she's created yet another initiative to support him.

According to WWD the editor has launched Runway To Win, a new initiative that will see 22 designers showcase exclusive products to be sold exclusively online at runwaytowin.com. All of the proceeds of the sales from pieces created by designers such as Marc Jacobs, Jason Wu and Alexander Wang, will go directly to the Obama Victory Fund. Jacobs was allegedly told not to participate by LVMH but decided to go ahead a design a t-shirt "following pressure from Vogue."

Will you buy something from the collection and support Obama's re-election campaign?

Interesting to see fashion and politics working so closely.
