Vogue Editor Helps Obama Campaign as Rumours Grow of Plum Diplomatic Post
THE OBSERVER: Anna Wintour has raised $500,000 for President Obama's re-election campaign. Will an ambassador's job be her reward?

Anna Wintour, the formidable British editor of American Vogue, has been named as a leading fundraiser in the re-election campaign of Barack Obama – an effort that has led to renewed speculation that she might be in line for a political appointment, potentially the US ambassadorship in London should the post becomes vacant later this year as expected.

Wintour, 62, is expected to step further out from the political shadows this week when she joins David Bowie's wife Iman to campaign for Obama on his home turf of Chicago.

The pair will travel to the city in the company of White House deputy chief of staff Jim Messina, known in Washington as "the fixer", or "the most powerful person in Washington that you haven't heard of". The Washington Post reported last week that the price of access to the event is $1,000, considerably less than access to a $40,000-a-plate fundraising dinner Wintour is co-hosting two nights later at the New York home of Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker.

Both events point to elevated political engagement by the British-born editor satirised in The Devil Wears Prada. » | Edward Helmore in New York | Sunday, June 10, 2012

President Barack Obama's wife Michelle is the cover girl for the March edition of fashion magazine Vogue.

t is only the second time an American First Lady has taken the place of a model on a Vogue cover - the other was Hillary Clinton in 1998.

Mrs Obama, who was photographed wearing outfits she chose herself, says she is aware her wardrobe is under scrutiny.

"I'm not going to pretend that I don't care about it. But I also have to be practical," she told Vogue magazine.

Annie Leibovitz photographed Mrs Obama wearing a magenta silk dress designed by Jason Wu for the cover portrait.

It is the second time she has chosen to wear one of his creations for a high-profile public appearance. She wore a long white gown by Wu for the inauguration balls on 20 January.
