Anna Wintour is an influential icon to many winning them over by her amazing sense of style and off the top personality. She is the editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine and is so influential, that she had even convinced the people to vote for our now president, Barack Obama. She is a fashion icon and has been since the late 90’s.

Anna Wintour is not solely interested in fashion but politics as well. Anna Wintour did much for the Obama campaign such as co-hosting fundraisers. I believe that politics are a fashion trend because things that happen in politics have an influence on fashion because if someone who is prominent in the political world wears a new designer, nine times out of ten they become one of the worlds most renown designers. Also if politics decides to put restrictions things such as international trade, it can be a big hit to the fashion industry. Lastly news in politics come and go as fast as fashion trends do, so in its own right politics is its own fashion trend.

After reading the article, i learned that Anna Wintour is a fashion role model and many people in the industry and in general look up to her for advice. Most importantly, Wintour was able to inflect people for political purposes. Therefore, i believe that politics is a fashion trend. This is also because Michelle Obama was able to use what she wore to persuade people to follow her. So it was used as her guidance. Both Michelle and Wintour used fashion to encourage their political experiences.

After reading the article “Power is always in vogue” I now understand that Anna Wintour is a woman that has many influences in politics, and fashion. One new thing I learned was how Anna Wintour helped Barack Obama in the elections. I also learned that Anna is a figure that many fashion designers look up to. After reading this Article I do think politics is a fashion trend because Fashion influences politics and the other way around. The way a politician looks is a way to get people’s attention that’s when fashion comes into play. Politics is a trend.

The topic about the article is about Anna Wintour persuading people to vote for Obama. I learned that Anna Wintour was involved in the politics with Obama and helped him with his re-election.
Politics is a fashion trend because it helps people know what celebrities are wearing and which designers are hot.

Anna Wintour is a remarkable woman who is very convincing and based on this article loves politics. She has convinced many people to vote for President Obama and has been involved in a fund-raiser to introduce a pet clothing line designed by famous designers. I think that politics is a fashion trend because lots of people talk about politics. As we read from the article many fashion designer support it making it influence their fans. So since its so ongoing, many people will think about it and it will catch their attention, just like fashion on a runway.

From what i understand about this topic, i believe that politics do play a part in the fashion industry. I learned that Anna Wintour is a determined individual filled with ferocity. People in general look up to her as a role model not only in the fashion world but in the political world as well. Many can tell that Ms. Wintour is a concerned person that wonders where our country will be going in the future.

Anna Wintour is a high top fashion designer, who is known all around the world for her work. She sets the trends of the seasons and is known as the queen of fashion. She is also known for persuading people to see her point of view. Obama used her in his campaign and she got an extra 200,000 votes for him. I guess you can say she’s iconic in the fashion world. This is why I believe politics is a fashion trend. Like fashion, politics is known all around the world, you need to know what’s going on in order to do certain things, like what’s changing, how much has prices gone up or down or the news basically. The same thing with fashion. There are different trends going around in each season so you can keep up with it and the same goes for politics. -Shamilyee

After reading this article, my general understanding about the topic is how Anna Wintour is a big inspiration to the Fashion Industries, What I've learned about Anna Wintour is that she is a very powerful women not only to the Fashion Industries but all around the world. In a way politics is a fashion trend, a reflection of our political culture. Change is a theme that is never present in America political culture and often change is reflected in the dress of its people.

My general understanding of the topic is that fashion and politics are very similar in a unique way. For example politics are always in news and never stop. Just like fashion. For many years politics and fashion have played a key role in our society, so coming up with a hybrid between the two is just genius. Today we can go to the news stand and see famous political figures on the cover of major fashion magazines. Anna Wintour is the editor and chief of American Vogue. According to the article the author says that Ms. Wintour is very involved with politics, and is a activist that speaks out about gay rights and the aids movement.In my opinion politics is always in fashion because its always in the news always in style and never stops/ ends just like fashion. For example when Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton step out for a press campaign everybody wants to know what they are wearing so they can go out and buy that. The next thing you know that garment is sold out everywhere. This does not only happen in america, this happens all around the world when duchess Kate Middleton has a huge event to go to many designers are eager to dress that one person for status, press, and the honor of being able to dress someone of such high standards.

After reading this article my understanding about this topic is that politics play big role in the fashion industry. Anna Wintour is the the editor in chief in American Vogue and plays a major icon with the fashion world. Many politicians go to her to promote themselves. She is also helped President Obama for his re-election. I think politics is a fashion trend because it can influence many ideas and designs. Politics can show a different side to fashion. It can also help the politicians to promote themselves like fashion trends to be successful like Anna Wintour.

My general understanding of the topic is that Anna Wintour is very famous in the fashion world and based upon the article , fashion designers often take her advice for fashion. From my point of view politics do have a something to with fashion.

After reading this article I know that Anna Wintour is important to the fashion industries and the society. She is influential to the fashion industries because a lot of fashion designers ask her for guides and advises. Anna Wintour is influential to the society because she doesn't only have the power to persuade people in fashion, but all the people in societies, “Politics has always surrounded Ms. Wintour, whether by choice or by birth.”(Peters) For example she has the power to persuade people to vote for President Obama. A politic is a fashion trend because they are in style and grab people attention. When you think of fashion trend you think of fashion designers, what clothing celebrities wear and how to grab the audience's attention. For example Michelle Obama is a politic which she is in style everyday and she grabs people’s attention. Jennifer Zheng period 4

Ana Wintour is a iconic women to both the political and fashion world.Shes known for her original look which consist of her dark sunglasses and her bob hairstyle. Her icy personality, sense of style, and persuasive ways makes her iconic.Now that shes involving herself with politics, and is succeeding, the big question is, "is Politics a 'fashion trend'?". This kind of connects to the fact that since Ana Wintour is big on fashion and is now involved with political business can fashion be involved? Personally,those two things are totally opposite which is why politics cannot be a fashion trend. But people think otherwise.

From reading this article, I understand how the world of fashion is involved in everything in our society, and yes that includes politics. I learned that Anna Wintour, the editor in chief of American Vogue and a prosperous business woman is highly engrossed in politics and the effect politicians have on others. When I think of fashion trends I think of the effort taken to make something a “trend”. When it comes to politics, politicians should in fact think how a fashion designer does. They should think about how they can get people’s enthrallment, what they have to do to be successful and how to stay as triumphant as woman like Anna Wintour.

In the article, the author is saying that Anna Wintour has been a big influence not only in the fashion world but in the political world as well. She has made several fundraisers concerning the president. A Vogue magazine featured Mrs. Obama and she also introduced a line of pet clothes with the proceeds going to the Obama campaign. I learned that Anna Wintour is very determined to help with the re-election of the president Barack Obama. In the article it states “’She has absolutely no interest in an ambassadorship,’ a close friend said” (Peters). This shows that she has a great interest in doing something that she believes in so it is not just about her interest in politics. I believe that politics is not a fashion trend because politics are more stable but a fashion trend can change rapidly since everyone has a different opinion. People can make their own choice in a fashion trend but in politics you need evidence to change it into something positive.

My general understanding about this topic is that Anna Wintour is well known and at high ranking at what she does. From reading this topic I learned that Anna Wintour is good at giving her personal feedback and judgement on something. She even made it convincing for people to vote for out president. I feel that if Anna Wintour wasn't around people wont be digging the new style. Anna Wintour put all her effort into co-hosting fundraisers for Obama's campaign and that was the best thing she did. -Jaylin Reyes :)

Anna Wintour is a top fashion designer and some guests who attended her line of pet clothes even paid $1,000 to get a picture taken with her. I learned that Anna Wintour is into politics and she convinced many people to vote for Obama. “But she has emerged as something more: an engaged politico and valuable asset to President Obama and his re-election effort.” This shows how Anna Wintour is really into politics and wants Obama to be re-elected. Politics is a fashion trend because many people want to know what is happening with politics as much as they want to know what the newest trend is.

My general understanding of this reading is that politics is more than just government its about advertising. What I learned about Anna Wintour is that she is more than fashion she loves politics and embarrasses anything. The way she dress no other women can compete she mixes her styles blending the old with the new.According to Mr. Drexler in the article "Power is Always in Vogue" he states "when she takes something on, she does it with a great amount of ferocity.” What ever Anna does she is bold and fierce challenging herself for new things Yes politics is a fashion trend its about advertising getting a viewers attention, persuasion, also the way u dress. For example when Michelle Obama wore a dress from Target she was making a statement, basically saying she is one of "us", the average middle class person". A few days later many flee to Target to buy the same dress. If anything Michelle was both advertising her dress and her husband so yes Politics IS a Fashion Trend------Krissty Lewis

My general understanding of the article called " Power Is Always In Vogue is that Anna Wintour is very into politics and she wanted President Obama to win the elections. The things that I learned about Anna Wintour is that she is the editor in chief of the magazine American Vogue and she is an important person in the fashion industry.She is not only a person who focuses on the fashion topics, she is also involve with politics. She is one of the people who was on President Obama side during his election and was many fundraisers for Obama in his election. In the article it says "This is Ms. Wintour’s second campaign working as an Obama bundle, those well-connected and highly motivated wranglers of cash for political candidates. Her latest effort for the president came on Thursday evening at a 50-person, $40,000-a-plate dinner she co-hosted at the West Village town house of Sarah Jessica Parker." This is one of the things that she did and she went out of way to co-host the dinner for Mr. Obama. In my opinion i think that politics is a fashion trend because a fashion trend is a statement that you want everybody to look at and talk about it, politics is the same way because you want a statement to stand out.

My general understanding of the topic is that Anna Wintour is helping Mr. Obama with election by knowing how he gets people to vote for him so that she can do something more to help. She also put politics into fashion cause she likes politics. I learned that Anna Wintour loves politics and she makes designers put politics into fashion clothing to help the president. In the article it says "she was in Chicago at an Obama fund-raiser, where she introduced a line of pet clothes designed by top designers, there was a Marc Jacobs dog sweater embroidered with "Bark with Obama" and a Takoon leash and collar." I also learned that people look up to her and ask her for advise since she's good with politics. Politics is a part of a fashion trend because when some presidents wants to have more votes for their election all people have to do is buy clothing that has words in them saying to vote for them or some other things that people would say.

After reading this article I am able to understand that the fashion industry expands to many aspects of society, and specifically in regards to this article,politics. I learned that Anna Wintour is very influential in not only the fashion industry as most may assume, but also in other aspects of society, including politics, this quote from the article "Power Is Always In Vogue" justifies my reasoning "Ms. Wintour may be well on her way to proving her savvy as a political player". Ms.Wintour is able to persuade and conduct a following of people through many outlets, but primarily through American Vogue magazine, where she is the editor and chief. "The pages of Vogue have certainly been kind to the Obamas. Mrs. Obama appeared on the cover shortly after the inauguration."(power is always in vogue;para.27). This quote is a direct example of Anna's involvement in politics, and her extensive decision of who to put on the cover of Vogue.I believe that politics is a fashion trend in the sense that they both are incorporated in each others worlds, and are able to effect one another.

Gabriella Q , after reading this article i can conclude that the topic of the article is that Anna has so much power in doing vogue that she was able to hold a campain for president obama's election.What i learned about Anna Wintour is that she is a vouge editor and that she gets around alot. For instance , The author of "Power is always in vouge" Jeremy Peters says "Times Square with a list of stores and vendors that Ms. Wintour suggested she visit so she could better understand how trade affects businesses in the city". Meaning that she visted all of these places just to understand them.In my opinion Polotics is not a fashion trend because while fashion can always evolve polotics cannot.
