Johansson helped launched the venture at a New York City party with
Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour on Tuesday (07Feb12) and
discussed the power of fashion in garnering support for Obama as he
runs for a second term in office.
She says, "I think the most important thing is that the fashion
world has an international spotlight shown on it. To be able to use
that spotlight on a cause like this is incredible... Conscious
consumerism (and) any way to reintroduce that kind of cool factor
(to Obama's campaign) is very valuable... You have to voice your
opinion."
Beyonce, Combs, Marc Jacobs, Russell Simmons, Vera Wang, and Diane
von Furstenberg have all contributed designs for Obama's
fundraising initiative.
