With the debates coming up, Obama supporters can get some exclusive designer duds straight from the official Obama online store with their Runway To Change collection. The collection features t-shirts and accessories produced by designers like Marc Jacobs, Zac Posen, Diane Von Furstenburg, Nanette Lepore, and Tory Burch – for Obama’s presidential campaign.
Celebrity designers got their hands involved as well, with tees also coming from Jay-Z, Beyonce, and Pharrell Williams. Check out some of the collection after the cut…
Man I will definitely cop one of these shirts fahreal. Im diggin the Jay-Z and Pharell t-shirts. Big ups to everybody involved and hope everybody votes this year.
I love it!!! But why are these shirts from designers not more fashion forward or creative???
nice…i might have get me one of those tshirts!
GO OBAMA!!!
I like them all except HOD..they could have done better. It looks like some video hoochies on a T-shirt, no creativity. Pherrell’s is really nice in my opinion. I even like Jay Z it is simeple yet to the point.
It’s all a good look.
Thanks have to check out link
I see a shirt i want alreaady!!!
LIKE: pharell’s, zac posen’s,rachel roy’s, tory burch’s, jay z’s
NOT: beyonces…lol, maybe the white 1 is better than the red…
everything else is cool though =)
Great cause! Loves it! A wide variety that will reach all supporters! Love to see folks getting involve for the cause! Team Obama!
Yeah…there all nice t-shirts I guess…but like someone else mentioned their not exactly fashion forward…but I do kind of like the Beyonce’s…the Tank looks very homemade…and the tote bag by Marc Jacobs…I’m almost positive my daughter can make that with some arts and crafts…but before it sounds like I’m being too negative…I do like the support that is being shown and I really hope everyone gets out there and votes…
i DON’T THINK IT’S MEANT TO BE fASHION FOWARD. tHE WHOLE PURPOSE IS FOR IT TO BE SIMPLE ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE TO BE ABLE TO ROCK IT. iT’S A SIMPLE FASHION THAT MAKES A BIG STATEMENT.
OBAMA 08′
I am really luvin the shirt Jay-Z designed. I agree with #2 these big names could have been more fashion forward.
The scarf is about the only decent item from these celeb designers. I’d rather buy the Will.I.Am compilation CD that also supports the campaign at least you’ll get some music to show for it.
I actually like the HOD shirt…reminds me of Fashion Plates.
Well I wasn’t exactly expecting runway wear I just expected more out of the designers…but you’re right…the shirts are very simple…but yet it makes a statement at the same time…so I stand behind all those that are welcoming change and doing something good.
But it will definitely take more than these designers making a few shirts for that change to come…I hope the money that is being made is not all going into their pockets and they really are doing something with it to help where they can.
@12 I agree with you…
the Rachel Roy scarf it looks hot, plus you can rock it after the election! I also like the wrap (cute idea) the other shirts are just ordinary, but nice idea in making Obama tee shirts
if you want to support the Obama campaign then log onto their website and purchase a tee or bag from them, which will support the campaign….
I also like the tee shirt Jurnee has on in other posting (her visit to NC) it says ” Obama & Biden 08″ it includes BOTH! I like that…
Truth Be Told
I loove the scarf and the Diane V. her name totebag as well as the Nanette Lapore shirt.
In love the Zac Posen and the Rachel Roy scarf I’m definitetly going to get these two items. Come on people support Obama!!!!
i can really see myself in that “DARE TO DREAM” tank also i love the marc jacobs bag “OBAMA 08″
Jay-Z shirt is nice…I would get that one.
the bag is cute too.
Pharell’s shirt is banging…it looks like a fist with “change” on it.
Beyonce’ and Tina always sell sex. They had to put slutty looking women on the blouse. SMH
I like the T-shirt Jay-Z designed, but I’ll probably end up getting the Obama “progress” shirt though.
I like most of the items not pictured. Tracy Reese’s shirt was nice, not to mention she’s an AA designer
I also liked DVF’s tote and Tony Burch’s shirt
lovin the obama’s tees especially the knowles one
I’ll take one of each please….
My fav is the Rachel Roy scarf and the Jay Z t-shirt
My favorite is the Rachel Roy scarf and Jay Z t-shirt. Beyonce and her mom shirt is the worst. They could have put more professional looking educated women faces instead of the playgirl type women. I see why House of Dereon is not doing well. They tend to cater to hood girl who can’t afford the clothes instead of the professional educated women who can.
OBAMA got my Vote & so does
M@RC J@COBS!!!!!
Jeeze!
1.Concreteloop staff, the background is not cute.
2. Beyonce, Tina and their little HOD crew need to give it up. We all fucking know the Knowles family is Republican, they aint fooling nobody. That is why you have to effin zoom in to see Obama’s name on it clearly….And of course they would have slutty ass women on there….pathetic. It was a cute idea but horrible T-Shirt. They just did this for some money and more respect to their cheap ass clothing. BUT..Whateva, I love Beyonce so I’m copping her album but she needs to eliminate her name off of this “HOD” mess ASAP.
3. ALL these shirts are all type of hideous. Pharrell must be losing his mind. That is by far the ugliest piece of cloth I’ve seen to date. HOD puts this to shame. And Jay-Z..please..hop off Obama’s cigar and get ya head in the game. NEXT–>
4. I’m not hating, just being honest. AND BTW, Whoever thinks Obama will win (cough cough, all of you) think again. Good Day.
dam celebrities can make money off of ANYTHING!!!….. i coulda designed these or better….. either way it is what it is…… I think that there should b a section that notifies people that OBAMA SHIRTS SHOULD NOT BE WORN ON THE DAY OF VOTING… or when somebody is goin in to vote, because u can be turned away. We want all votes to count so this information needs to be passed along since there are alot of viewers on this specific website
WONDERFUL…Beyonce is not a Republican. She was asked to perform for President Bush and she did. She’s an entertainer, she can’t turn away money just because of party affiliation.
Ummmm..Chile, I’ve BEEN a Beyonce fan since the song “632-5792″. Meaning, I know a HELLA alot more than you do for sure. And not only did she perform at the White House with Bush, her and her mother said that they were Republican in an interview A LONG ASS time ago. If I find I’ll make sure to post it….it was a long time ago so IDK if ima find it.
i like the shirts but they are pricey.
ps i saw a pic of beyonce rocking a Obama shirt the other day. she may be republican but she voting 4 OBAMA
Beyonce is not a damn Republican. Why would she design shirts for the campaign, wear an Obama shirt, among other things. She also did an interview recently where she showed her support for Barack Obama. Please stop being an idiot. I hope people don’t get their information from sites such as these, because the people who comment can be so backwards. Who Asked You..just because you CLAIM to be a fan doesn’t mean you know everything, because that sure is hell isn’t a fact about Beyonce. That she is a Republican. And if the most you got is because she performed a prestigious White House function then you are clearly wrong. And if you were a fan of that magnitude to suddenly know that Beyonce is Republican because you follow them oh so much, you sure wouldn’t be saying there are slutty women on the shirt, HOD need to give it up, etc etc. And refer to black women as hood girls. GTFOH. lmao.
I believe these designers are doing something postiive for the election. They are aware how fashion can have a place in politics and can inspire. Now I may not like all of the designs but I feel that it is a great thing for the election.
I like the black and white tank that says “DARE TO DREAM”. All of the shirts are nice, and the good thing is that some of the shirts can still be worn after the election!!!!!!
These Shirts are nice, but do not buy……Go to Obama.com and purchase a shirt from his camp so all the money will go towards his campaign.
I am not surprised by HOD shirt because thats what their line represents, Ghetto Mess.
Also, I would like to add that Beyonce and her family are Republican’s…..My mom is republican but she is voting for Obama……so it doesnt mean your not a republican if your voting for Obama, alot of Republicans jumped ship because of McCain.
The Knowles are from Texas, also Matthew use to be the president over at Xerox…….they are use to living a rebulican lifestyle.
People are always trying to go off on someone stating they need to know the fact but you need to know the facts.
what is this LONG TERM mess? Jacked my whole comment up
#34 Kenny and any one else that’s spewing this money is for the campaign – newsflash………
THE SHIRTS ARE $60.
THESE SHIRTS WERE MADE TO SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN AND CAN BE PURCHASED THROUGH OBAMA’S SITE – NOT ANY OF THE DESIGNERS PERSONAL WEBSITES. EVEN IF THEY HAVE THEM ON THEIR WEBSITES THE MONEY ALL GOES TOWARDS THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN.
AGAIN, THE HOD SHIRT IS PURE FASHION AND IS FASHIONABLE – LOVE IT!!!
KENNY YOU ARE JUST AS STUPID AS THE PERSON WHO STARTED THE RUMOR THAT BEYONCE WAS A REPUBLICAN. BEYONCE’S FATHER WAS NEVER THE PRESIDENT AT XEROX, KNOW YOUR FACTS BEFORE TRYING TO STRAIGHTEN SOMEONE ELSE OUT. MATHEW WAS ONE OF THE TOP SALESPERSONS AT XEROX. DO YOU REALLY THINK HE WOULD HAVE QUIT HIS JOB IF HE WAS PRESIDENT OF A FORTUNE 500 COMPANY, THE IGNORANCE THAT SOME POSSESS!
I am thinking the gear could have been more fashion forward but I am glad to see people doing big things for Obama. I want the purse that Andre Leon had in a post last week.
damn he got major fashion designers designing stuff but my thing is are they registered and are they voting for him? cause they could also be using this for sale purposes

FOR THE ONES SAYING THE DESIGNERS ARE USING THIS FOR THEIR OWN MONETARY GAIN. YOU PURCHASE THESE ITEMS FROM OBAMA’S OFFICIAL WEBSITE. THEY HAVE MORE THAN JUST SHIRTS TO OFFER.

I bought an Obama shirt when he came to Milwaukee for 15 bucks, $60 dollars for those i’ll pass
The most fashion-forward Obama shirts are hand-printed by an indie designer Elektra, who is based in Manhattan. Even Madonna loves them. You can find them in Elektra’s online store: http://www.coup.etsy.com
