Female Politicians Earn Place in Fashion World
By Monica Garske - AOL NewsThey say clothes make the man, but when it comes to politics, the only real "power dressers" are the women of that world: first ladies and female politicians. Think about it. We're constantly gossiping about what first lady Michelle Obama is wearing, but we seldom explore -- or even care about -- President Barack Obama's fashion choices. Unless, of course, he's frolicking topless on a beach. According to Robb Young, author of the new book "Power Dressing: First Ladies, Women Politicians & Fashion," this occurs because the feminine wardrobe is far more varied, vibrant and memorable than ...

Bruni's lawyers told The Telegraph of London that they were "bracing themselves" for the book, set to release this month, which apparently includes new details on the already ...
