Designer Collaborations Raised $40 Million For The Obama Campaign
Generally speaking, the fashion industry has wholeheartedly thrown its support behind President Barack Obama during the last two election cycles, and has been one of POTUS’s biggest supporters.

The Curious Case Of Mitt Romney’s Univision Tan Has Been Solved
On Wednesday, Mitt Romney appeared on Univision‘s Meet the Candidates forum in Florida. For better or for worse, however, we barely paid attention to what he was saying because our peepers were focused on his overly bronzed skin. Was that due to self-tanner? Bad lighting? Was it on purpose?
Is Paul Ryan’s Style Really That Bad? (Plus: Bonus Shirtless Pic!)

But is his style truly that bad, or are they just too critical?

Election Day Fashion: Michelle Obama’s Campaign Trail Style
It’s actually kind of hard to deny that first lady Michelle Obama is the best-dressed woman on the campaign trail — and she’s not even running for office. The first lady has been hard at work in recent weeks and months pushing for individual Democratic congressional and senatorial candidates, as well as doing her part to raise money for the Democratic National Committee.

Belgium May Be First European Country To Ban Burkas
Following in France’s attempted footsteps, Belgium is on its way to becoming the first country in Europe to ban the burka. Last year, France set into motion efforts to ban it as well and those efforts hit a wall on Monday, when the Council of State — France’s top administrative court — ruled that they could not legally outlaw the Islamic veils without stomping all over their citizens’ constitutional rights.
