…beyond cut and color, designers are obsessing about strong and powerful women who are independent and enduring — perhaps even a bit scandalous. There has been talk of O’Keeffe, Germaine Greer, Gloria Steinem, influential mothers and grandmothers — and of course, Hillary Clinton.
The Democratic presidential nominee is, by no means, the typical fashion icon, not in the manner of an actress, a musician or even First Lady Michelle Obama. But it is hard to deny her influence, whether direct or indirect — on so many designers. The historic nature of her campaign is in the air; and much of Seventh Avenue has been quite clear about supporting her. Just before fashion week began, more than a dozen designers participated in a runway show-fundraiser for Clinton, that was co-hosted by Vogue’s Anna Wintour.
But in a non-partisan way, Clinton’s proximity to the presidency has invited designers to reconsider the relationship that women have to power and how it manifests in attire and style. Designers have responded in ways that have been inventive, charming and reassuring. They have refused to be caught up in all the old clichés of polished jackets and below-the-knee skirts.

We see what they mean—
The bag lady of high fashion.
I guess “The Bag Lady” is the thing this year.
Great minds. Or maybe just that obvious. Lol
If her wardrobe is considered a fashion icon, my explosive diarrhea is a Michelangelo extraordinaire.
Damn you guys are reading my mind
Cat lady
Shopper at walmart
Bag lady
That fourth photo clinches it. Hillary is the one who stole my grandma’s curtains.
She’s a major player among the nursing home jet set.
Her clothing screams assisted living or nursing home.
The Last row, middle one, looks like they reopened Chairman Mao’s sarcophagus and stole his jacket. It is not gray, its drab green with lots of decomposure dust on it. Some Mao Tse-Tung’s, but most from Hillary. The old bag lady is rotting on her cankles.
Mooshele Obama all over again. Whether its fashion, or movie/tv/music awards, reality is always distorted by politics; as soon as you spew left wing hate, you are suddenly declared an artistic genius.
“OVEN MITT”
is *not* a fashion statement.
Haute couture from the fashion house of OLeg Cuntsini.
Aunt Pittypat’s green velvet portiers would have looked better on Cankles than those haute couture tents. That includes the brass curtain rod across the back of the neck and sticking out the sleeves. I am sure Donatella Versace threw up just a little.
Hahahahahahaha…!!!…snort…hahahahahahaha!!!
😳
She dresses like her idol Mao Zedong

Reminds me of this old classic:

Now hiring: Omar the Tentmaker.
Hillary is a fashion icon.
Mooch is the most glamorous first ‘lady’.
Obama is a Christian.
Biden is a foreign policy genius.
obamacare is Constitutional.
The GOP is America’s conservative party.
Ft Hood was “workplace violence”.
Islam is a religion of peace.
See the pattern here?
New slogan, “Dump Frump.”
This from the same paper who thinks Michelle Obama is glamorous. Lol.
That blue floaty caftan thingie looks like a wing suit used for cliff jumping…..

What they used to call a “housecoat” or “housedress” is now back in fashion? Going to have to head to the Goodwill store to see if they still have some of MY grandma’s old stuff.
WoPo is plugging to be the only reporters allowed in the press pool under Hill the Munificent/sarc off.
They need to include a shot of her staged post-collapse media event on 9/11. Somehow that outfit miraculously made her look 50 pounds lighter!
