Zac Posen, Donna Karan, Alex Wang and Others Design Obama-Inspired Goods

inauguration-0114.jpgThe "Runway to Change" was a fashion-forward initiative developed during Obama's race to the White House to help raise money for his campaign, and we just learned that this week, they're launching a new round of collectible items. Designers offering up their support for the future Head of State include Diane von Furstenberg, Tory Burch, Zac Posen, Donna Karan, Juicy Couture, Narciso Rodriguez, Derek Lam, Rachel Roy, Gerald Matthews, House of Deréon, and Alexander Wang. Proceeds from the sales will help to foot the estimated $45 million bill for the inauguration. Better hope those T-shirts sell. (WWD)
