18-year-old Peter Brant II may already be fashion royalty and a billionaire in the making–but at the end of the day he still has to answer to his parents: Peter Brant and Stephanie Seymour, who were not exactly amused by their son’s ‘contingency plan’ to ‘Kill Obama haha.‘
There’s no question that Anna Wintour is a huge Obama supporter–so far she’s co-hosted four dinners and become one of the his top fundraisers–and now the Vogue EIC is even skipping out on her regular 9-to-5 to help the President.

Midwestern fashion lovers, rejoice! The queen of fashion is headed your way.
Remember the Runway to Win event that got Obama-supporting fashionistas excited and pissed off a few Rebublicans? Well, it’s happening again on June 12 in Chicago.
The Obama campaign is boldly going where no other campaign has gone before: Nail polish!
Nail art/political enthusiasts can now show their support for Obama’s reelection campaign by painting their nails red, white and blue with the campaign’s official nail polish set, which comes in a tidy case complete with Obama logo.
According to Politico, the set cost around $10,000 for the campaign to develop in collaboration with nail guru Richard Blanch of Le Métier De Beauté, and will retail for $40 for the trio and collectable bag. The set was created as part of Anna Wintour’s “Runway to Win” campaign event.
Last night Anna Wintour and Scarlett Johansson hosted “Runway to Win,” the fundraising event in support of Obama’s re-election campaign. Some fairly big-name fashion people attended, including model trio-of-the-moment Karlie Kloss, Chanel Iman, and Joan Smalls. Designers like Diane von Furstenberg, Tory Burch and Alexander Wang also all took time out from what is probably their busiest time of the year to come out to support Obama. You’ll recall that a slew of them designed items like totes and tees for Obama’s campaign.
But not everyone is responding well to fashion’s (or more specifically, Anna Wintour’s) call to arms for Obama.

President Obama rocked some (perhaps questionably-fitting) Levi’s when he threw out the first pitch at the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday, and we’re still convinced that Levi’s make the best cutoffs.
