Abstract

This paper reviews the growing relationship between the fashion industry and politics, emphasizing reasons for this strengthening correlation. It features an analysis of the style of current female political figures such as Michelle Obama and Anne Romney, as well as Vogue’s controversial story “Storm Troupers,” intended to pay a tribute to Hurricane Sandy’s first responders. Using concepts of perception and femininity, the recent involvement of the fashion industry with politics is discussed with particular historical and modern relevance to Vogue, and its editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour.
