President Obama at NYFW???

President Barack Obama made a uniquely special appearance at New York Fashion Week this year.....as a part of Vivienne Tam's Fall '13 collection.

Tam {Chinese-American designer} presented a line inspired by hope and change {the famous words from both Obama campaigns} with several pieces of the collection featuring sharp Pop-art-esque prints of the POTUS. Tam even took her bow in a dress displaying a rasterized image of President Obama’s likeness; However, this collection was not intended to make a political statement.

“It just came to me, this hope and humor,” Tam explained. “It wasn’t about politics, I just wanted a new dialogue. I wanted to dress a woman with heart, who cares about what’s happening in the world, not just about fashion.”

This one is my fave!!!

Looks like the POTUS maybe giving the FLOTUS a little competition in the fashion world.

 I like this collection, the images were done very tastefully and are certainly thought provoking conversations starters...and isn't that what true fashion is all about???
