His wife may be a former model, but it seems that Donald Trump has lost the fashion crowd vote to Hillary Clinton.
Of course, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour has been a longtime, vocal advocate for the Democratic candidate. But recently, several top designers have also thrown their support behind Hillary — in addition to their design skills.

Marc Jacobs, Marchesa’s Georgina Chapman, Diane von Furstenberg, and Prabal Gurung are just a few of the famous fashion pros who’ve created limited-edition T-shirts to benefit the former Secretary of State’s campaign, and the pro-Hillary tops have already been snatched up by a slew of celebrities.
The merchandise, part of a special ‘Made for History’ collection, is available to buy on Hillary’s campaign website for $45 apiece.
Rag and Bone’s David Neville and Marcus Wainwright, jeweler Monique Péan, Public School’s Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne, Joseph Altuzarra, Pamela Love, and jeweler Eva Fehren also contributed designs to the collection — and several of the designers also offered words of support.
‘No matter what stands in her way, she stays true to herself and her belief that we all deserve a chance to succeed… and that is why I am proud to stand with Hillary!’ Diane von Furstenberg explained of her shirt, which shows a silhouette holding a pro-Hillary flag and reads ‘Proud to support Madame President’.
‘My support for Hillary is grounded on our long-standing shared belief in equality,’ added Marc Jacobs when discussing his contribution, which has a 3D rendering of the candidate’s face and has been worn by Ms. Wintour and Kendall Jenner.
Marchesa’s Georgina Chapman, who has co-hosted fundraisers with her husband, producer Harvey Weinstein, said: ‘ Hillary inspires me with her determination and confidence. Her remarkable leadership and unwavering commitment to equal rights are admirable.’
Tory Burch’s tee is emblazoned with rainbow letters spelling out the famous words the Democrat spoke in China two decades ago: ‘Women’s rights are human rights.’
The shirt by Joseph Altuzarra has a version of her ‘H’ logo, which the designer said ‘represents her straightforwardness and her unwavering vision for the country’.
‘Personally, I am supporting Hillary because I believe she represents the future — and has the experience and knowledge to carry out change on issues that matter to the country, such as equal pay for women, LGBT equality, climate change and energy,’ he added.
Clearly one of the more popular designs, Prabal Gurung’s red T-shirt has already sold out — though there still seem to be some shirts left designed by Tanya Taylor, whose striped number has been a particular favorite of the Hollywood set.
‘Hillary Clinton’s glass ceiling shattering campaign is testament to the progress America has made for women’s global equality,’ Tanya said. ‘My design for Hillary’s historic campaign is a classic varsity tee, inspired by team unity and iconic Americana. Her dedication to nurturing entrepreneurial spirit, improving access to higher education and protecting the American people are some of the reasons I’m With Her.’
Demi Lovato, Emma Roberts, and Chirsty Turlington Burns seem to agree. All three women have been spotted in Tanya’s limited-edition shirt.
Debra Messing also has Prabal Gurung’s tee, while Georgina Champman’s Marchesa partner Keren Craig and actress Alyssa Milano both have her beaded design. Chloe Moretz has showed off her DVF T-shirt on Instagram.
Celebrities have been coming out en masse to support Clinton, including Sigourney Weaver, Elizabeth Banks, Connie Britton, Meryl Streep, Uzo Aduba, Kerry Washington, George Clooney, Robert de Niro, Salma Hayek, Katy Perry, Reese Witherspoon, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Bryan Cranston.
Donald Trump’s Hollywood supporters include Scott Baio, Dennis Rodman, Jon Voight, Gary Busey, Mike Tyson, Kid Rock, Willie and Phil Robertson, Azealia Banks, Hulk Hogan, Ted Nugent, Teresa Giudice, and Tila Tequila.
However, celebrities who voice support for candidates have been known to get attacked for their preferences on social media by followers who disagree with their choices — and don’t think actors or singers should have anything to do with politics.
After actress America Ferrera spoke out in favor of Hillary at the DNC, she addressed her critics on Real Time with Bill Maher.
‘I’m not here as a celebrity, I’m here as a person who has a lot to lose in this election,’ she said, before adding later on Instagram: ‘Please stop telling me to shut up because I’m an actor. I am an American, and like everyone else, there’s a lot at stake for me in this election.’
