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."
- Ahmet Curic of the Borac management team, via Vogue UK
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!
