But one of the most famous political fashion designers of the year, Susanna Chung Forest, who designed Hillary Clinton’s pantsuits says it would be unusual for a candidate as famous as Sarah Palin to need to buy clothes.
“Why do you need to pay for it?” Forest told CBS News from her boutique Susanna Beverly Hills saying that most designers would offer to clothe a candidate for free. “It’s an honor, you are going to design for someone who could be the president of the United States,” noting that the exposure any designer would get from dressing someone as famous as Clinton or Palin would be worth much more.
The Los Angeles Times reported earlier this year that Senator Clinton’s custom made pantsuits from Forest were worth about $6,350 a piece retail. Clinton’s spokespeople did not respond to requests for comment.

At that moment, would the American people really want to see her wearing Wal-Mart? I mean, I wouldn't mind, but the next guy...
Lol. See, the DNC expects handouts. The GOP knows they have to pay for what they get.
CONSERVATIVES PAY THEIR OWN WAY!!!!!!!
Is anyone shocked that HILLARY! expected a hand out?
Hillary’s pantsuits cost 65 hundred bucks each? Case closed. We’ll never hear another word on this from the MSM.
That price seems reasonable considering the amount of fabric necessary in order to cover her big, fat....
Of course she has to buy outfits - those who create au coture only do so for leftists like Hillary. If given an assignment to create for Palin, they’d have her in a burlap bag. Though, there’s no doubt that she’d look better in a burlap bag than Hillary ever would.
I thought the manufacture of Hillary’s pantsuits was World Wide Pants Inc.
I’m sure the pantsuits were that expensive due to the enormous amount of fabric needed to cover............I better stop there
it’s an old fashioned idea
paying for what you get.
That is why the elitists despise Sarah. She is an “off the rack” type of gal.
I can see why the Washington inside the beltway snobs do not like her. She relates to real Americans.
Jokes appreciated but seriously isn’t it illegal to take those expensive pantsuits as gifts?
Why pay for anything? Don’t all products and services grow on trees!
This obsession with Palin’s wardrobe by the MSM Obamacorns in nothing but weird. Just heard a teaser on some SeeBS station that we’re going to “learn more at 11.” That right there explains why “The One” is still in this race. People living in the country are total morons.
This is ridiculous.
Nordstrom carries it own designer lines which I’ve bought for years. These are classic styles and colors that NEVER go out of style. Sarah can always look chic and sleek without going the route of clothing designers (who are grossly over rated!)
For the record, Hillary probably lost the Democrat nomination because of those damn pantsuits; turqoise, banana yellow, and shell orange, are suitable colors for a cruise to a Caribbean resort BUT not for running for political office. In fact, extensive objective testing over a period of years has proven that those colors are associated with “failure”.
The above isn’t my opinion - John T. Malloy did the tests and sold books on the subject. The first one was a best seller, Dress for Success, as was the second, Women’s Dress for Success.
“I thought the manufacture of Hillary’s pantsuits was World Wide Pants Inc.”
No, Ohmar the tent make,,,
Screwed that up. make-maker
I do wonder though, how in the world does Sarah stand in those heels? I wear heels that high for a few minutes and I can't walk for a week...
Sarah doesn't need a designer wardrobe to look good. That woman could wear something from anywhere and still exude nothing but grace and class.
