Forty years after Che Guevara's death, the fashion world has finally found a replacement. Obama - a new political cause coupled with the physique of a catwalk model - described in The New York Review of Books in Messiah-like terms: "[he has] arisen out of a plain of scorched earth, a longed-for rebirth."

The political T-shirt (pace Che) is nothing new, but as Obama bags, ties, trainers and babygros multiply, the big guns have joined in.

Also Donatella Versace dedicated her entire spring-summer 2009 menswear collection to him. The Italian designer said she was creating a style for "a relaxed man who doesn't need to flex muscles to show he has power".
