Fashion Is Fun

Louis Has Your Back, er, Cheese

Apparently, they call it “The Magic Room.”

And in this magic room is a Louis Vuitton cheese case. The red velvet lined case has space for a giant wedge of cheese, knives, spoons and a bowl of sorts.

In case you’re lactose intolerant, or, gasp, you don’t really need a box for your cheese, they’ve also produced a Mah Jong case because it’s just the thing to get you through your days of recession unemployment.

Somewhere, Kanye West is so excited.

Obama Gets a Fashion Line

Obama Fashion TeeStiletto liberals rejoice:

Barack Obama is getting his own Fashion Line.

Starting next month, about a dozen items - mostly totes and tees - will be on sale at Obama.com and they’ll be different from those MoveOn sweats in one crucial way:

They’ve been sketched out by Diane Von Furstenberg, Derek Lam, and other CFDA members, including Tracy Reese, whose Obama scoop neck can be seen at left. The clothes will also have a launch party at Charles Nolan’s studio on September 9 - during New York Fashion Week.

Robin Givhan reveals the whole project in the Washington Post, noting “the risk, of course, is being perceived as highbrow or shallow. Obama’s opponents have derisively dismissed him as an elitist and a celebrity. And it was the fashion industry that spawned the celebri-monster known as Paris Hilton. Having Seventh Avenue on his roster of supporters would not seem conducive to a Dockers-man image.”

We’re not completely sure that fashion did spawn Paris Hilton - unless Page Six is considered a direct arm of the style industry - but she’s got a point. She’s also got a guarantee from Tracy Reese that she will sport the Obama tee at some point this Fashion Week, and that’s a really big deal.

Note that this isn’t the only fashion initiative tied to Democrats this season - Anna Wintour famously hosted a Calvin Klein dinner for Michelle Obama last month, and the Senator’s wife was also the inspiration for the September cover of Harper’s Bazaar, which starred Tyra Banks.

Come August, NYLON Guys also gets into the mix - they’ve donated their entire back cover to Obama’s campaign, a first for a national fashion title.

Meanwhile, McCain has the devout support of Hills star and designer, Heidi Montag.

element shirt.jpgNatalie and I are both kind of wondering what’s up with the influx of moonlit animal tees.

Maison Martin Margiela’s $1,395 tee recently made headlines for knocking off a David Penfound painting. But now we’re seeing more of these tees hitting the pages of NYLONguys, like this one from Element.

You normally see shirts like these sold in souvenir shops, or on the backs of ATV riders about to head out hunting for the day.

So what’s the deal? How did this look make it onto everybody’s radar? Maybe we missed something, but we don’t really see the appeal in wearing a t-shirt with a moose on it.
