Donatella Versace Dedicates Her Men’s Line to Barack Obama

Doing Barack Obama no favors to combat the elitist image, New York Magazine reports that Donatella Versace has dedicated her Spring 2009 men's line to the 'man of the moment'. Displaying hilarious classic fashion schizophrenia of attempting to appropriate cultural symbols while embodying their opposite, the show featured exactly two non-white models (of roughly 15 or 20) according to this blogger's review of the show on style.com. Black africans in fashion seem to be on the minds of many Italian designers as the July issue of Italian Vogue featured only black models for that issue.
