Elizabeth Warren, Fashion Muse?

Fashion, men's and women's, is a very important field, overlooked and mocked by the leftist radical Democrats. As a devout reader of men's fashion pages in the Parisian daily "Le Figaro", I dare to doubt any Elizabeth Warren's and Bernie Sanders's significant contributions to fashion. Warren's attire in public on the photos is nothing to be excited about, and Sanders is better known for laying eggs, from which hatch militant socialist women Democrats, more extreme than "the Pope" Bernie.

Wow - each time I review an article on fashion, and examine the fashion on the runway, I wonder at the raw differences between women and men. This is really nutty stuff - I HOPE women aren't as nutty, in general.

I looked through the photos and immediately noticed wonderful trends: flats! Pants! Pockets! Thank you Elizabeth Warren for breaking through the rigid fashion expectations for working women. Even Herrera showed flats! We want comfortable, versatile clothes that let us move easily, and don’t require a blueprint to put on nor an expense account to keep clean. The Row’s clothes look beautifully tailored and timeless. Isn’t that something to aspire to?—clothes we can wear season to season for years, made of quality cloth. This is the reasonable alternative to cheap fast fashion that impoverishes the workers and depletes the planet. More, please!

@Ellen Barry I'm support staff and get to wear clothes with pockets and flat shoes without question. Climbing the corporate ladder ain't all that after all.

What does this article have to do with Warren and her twin, Bernie? Aside from the fact that these two extreme leftists are joined at the hip and hope to make a "revolution" a la Marx ( Bernie's hero; the man spent his honeymoon in Moscow) they are not fashionistas anymore than is Trump. Their real news is their hostile takeover of the Democratic party since, apparently, they are unable to get the nomination of the Socialists this time around. The rest of the piece is decidedly non-political.

@simon sez: this isn’t intended to be a political statement except in the broadest sense: Warren’s esthetic is comfortable clothes that look good on her, without regard to outdated expectations of what powerful women “should” wear to be taken seriously. If her ubiquity finally convinces the old trolls to quit trying to shove us into shoes you cannot walk in and girdles that strangle, then it doesn’t matter whether or not you agree with her politics.
