It's a special occasion, wear your Barack Obama

We've all seen a lot of Obama fashions this year, from bumper stickers to underwear. These two dresses (by Rodarte and Castelbajac) were spotted on the runway in ready-to-wear collections in Paris in October. Now, a clothier in Bosnia has launched a line of fine suits named - what else? - Obama.

Borac, the oldest clothing factory in Bosnia, reportedly named the line to thank the United States for giving them money to re-open after the war ended in 1995. The suits are flying off the shelves in Bosnia and Croatia.

"It's a line of top quality business suits, and naming it Obama was an obvious choice because the president-elect is clearly a very elegant man and one of a few who knows how to wear a suit."

Borac has been known to work with American designers like Hugo Boss, so perhaps we'll have Obama suits here in the United States and all over the world soon!
