politics of fashion

Originally uploaded by shoedish

The 2008 Presidential Election Campaigns were plagued by many controversies and not all of them had to do with the politics of a nation, but more the politics of fashion. With outrageous spending sprees, like the alleged $150,000 spent outfitting Sarah Palin and the $313,000 outfit worn by Cindy McCain, it’s no wonder the country is watching the “Shoes of Power”. This isn’t the first time that fashion has become the sidekick of politics; Jackie Kennedy will long be remembered for her iconic fashion sense. With the new first lady, Michelle Obama, stepping into that coveted role the country will surely be watching. If poise and intelligence is reflected in ones clothing and footwear choices than the new women in power will surely be of a practical nature. Check out the TrendyShoeShop.com and their article “Shoes of Power: Are the Potential White House Women Obsessed with Fashion” for more on this topic.
