President Obama‘s fundraising team takes “Runway to Win” to Chicago next month for a star studded fashion show at Harpo Studios. The runway show will include designs from Rachel Roy, Jason Wu and Narcisco Rodriguez. Vouge editor Anna Wintour is one of President Obama’s most high profile bundlers. Wintour has raised over $500,000 for the president’s re-election campaign. NBC Chicago reports:

Chicago’s Republican fashionistas may be torn over whether to attend the Runway to Win event next month.

On one hand, A-list fashion notables such as Vogue editor Anna Wintour and models Iman and Chanel Iman will be in the house.

On the other hand, it’s a fundraiser for the Obama Victory Fund 2012.
