At least according to Robin Givhan in this article from the Washington Post. In her view, many New York designers' collections seemed to have run out of new ideas and featured recycled shapes and textures like wide legged trousers and tweedy suits. Fortunately she found exceptions.
More evidence of Hell freezing over, a European fashion designer has chosen none other than Barack Obama, as her muse for her men's Fall 2008 collection.
A male politician from the US as the major fashion inspiration for a major designer's collection. Evidence either Hell has frozen over or maybe the beginning of more style entering into how politicians dress.
One can hope it's the latter. Here's to hope and change!

Interesting that Donatella finds inspiration in Obama. I don't know that he's dressing in any extraordinarily stylish way but because of his lack of middle-aged pudge, he looks damn good in whatever he wears.
I think that's it. Obama really rocks the casual pants/shirt combo with the shirt sleeves rolled up. Maybe what makes it special is his clothes fit well. Alot of men are wearing the wrong size in shirts and suits and it's amazing what happens when they get their measurements taken and find their true size.
