From Michelle Obama's flawless style and support of young designers to the fashion industry's fundraising efforts, this has easily been the most fashiony election season of all time. In fact, the fashion industry is seen as playing a vital role in this election. But, we're not just talking about designers' hefty donations and Anna Wintour-hosted dinners. For instance, there was that time Ann Romney wore a $900 Reed Krakoff shirt and who could forget Cathy Horyn attacking Paul Ryan for wearing an ill-fitted jacket? As ballots continue to be cast and counted, let us take a look back at the biggest fashion stories to come out of the 2012 presidential election, which will soon, finally, come to an end.

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.
