You just can’t escape political chat these days, not even at fashion events. At last night’s relaunch party for Jason Campbell’s (above) JC Report (it’s going independent and updating daily) at the W Downtown residences, where we spotted Jessica Seinfeld and Erin Fetherston, we chatted with design consultant Edward Buchanan, who weighed in on the relationship between fashion and politics. “Freedom, optimism, confidence” in personal style, he said, “relates to what’s going on. Michelle Obama exudes personality. It’s not necessarily about a stodgy suit, you know? She’s a modern woman. She’s a perfect example. People are responding to the future.” And what should Hillary Clinton be wearing now? “Helmut Lang from the early nineties—that confident, razor-sharp jacket, skinny pant, black heel. Just so she goes out with strength.”
