Runway to Win

A-list actress, Scarlett Johannson, and Vogue editor, Anna Wintour, have teamed together to host ‘Runway to Win’- a limited edition collection of Obama-themed clothing and accessories designed by popular fashionistas.

At a Theory store on Tuesday night, Johannson revealed the Obama-inspired collection featuring predominantly t-shirts and bags designed by the likes of Marc Jacobs, Beyonce, Vera Wang, Tory Burch, Sean John, Diane von Furstenberg, and many more.

Johansson delivered a short, yet powerful, speech outlining Obama’s accomplishments over the past three years and encouraging voters to support their current leader.

"Change for American women: the first bill President Obama signed into law was the Fair Pay Act," she said. "Three women now sit on the Supreme Court for the first time in history. And insurance companies must now offer women cancer screenings and contraception at no cost.

"Change for LGBT Americans: The President ended Don't Ask, Don't Tell so no one will ever again have to lie about who they love to serve the country they love," Johansson added. "The President declared the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional. And he signed the Hate Crimes Prevention Act into law."

Johannson believes that the ‘Runway to Win’ designer campaign gear will reignite hope.

"There is so much at stake in this campaign," Johansson said in a press release. "2012 will not be easy. We have to fight even harder this time around, and that's where Runway to Win will make a real difference."

The items might be slightly pricier than your average campaign swag… but the clothing and accessories are definitely less expensive than other items in these designers’ collections.
