Jan 20th has always been a fancy day in history, but today’s inauguration of Barack Obama is undoubtedly one for the ages.

In support of the historic event, a few high end designers have created official inaugural merchandise. Among the participating designers are: Diane von Furstenberg, Tory Burch, Zac Posen, and Juicy Couture.

“This is the most exciting political moment of my lifetime,” said Zac Posen in an interview with WWD.

All proceeds from the sales will go to covering the cost of the inauguration, which is expected to be around $45 million.

Diane von Furstenberg natural cotton canvas tote, $70

Tory Burch natural cotton canvas tote, $70

Juicy Couture Live for Change T, $45

Zac Posen Gray Sheer T, $45

Alexander Wang, “Change” Scarf, $40

The collection is available at pic2009.inauguralcollectibles.com through February.

Until next time,
