Sarah Jessica Parker made a subtle political — and fashion — statement while running around New York City yesterday in her Obama-inspired “Dare to Dream” tank. Her coveted tank is actually Zac Posen-designed and part of Barack Obama’s “Runway to Change” initiative. Posen isn’t the only designer to lend his talents to the campaign. Joining him in creating exclusive “Change” T-shirts, tanks and accessories are other top names like Nanette Lepore, Tory Burch, Russell Simmons, Vera Wang, Tracy Reese, Alexander Wang, Narciso Rodriguez, Beyonce and Tina Knowles for The House of Dereon and more. Your purchase of one of the Ts will count as a campaign contribution. Check out all the designs, at barackobama.com.

Following in the foot steps of past stars like Hilary Swank, Charlize Theron, Renee Zellweger and Glenn Close, Gwyneth Paltrow has been named the Entertainment Industry Foundation’s (EIF) ambassador for Saks Fifth Avenue’s 2008 KEY TO THE CURE campaign, a women’s cancer initiative founded in partnership with EIF’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund. The limited edition T-Shirt modeled by Gwyneth was created by legendary designer Karl Lagerfeld and features a cross bow and arrow on the front and a sketch of Karl himself on the back. Gwyneth will appear in all KEY TO THE CURE ads and a public service announcement wearing the T-shirt. Karl’s limited edition work will hit Saks Fifth Avenue stores and their website on October 1 and retail for $40 with over $35 to exclusively benefit KEY TO THE CURE. In the ten years since Key to the Cure’s inception, Saks and its partners have raised more than $28 million. Tell us: What do you think of the new KEY TO THE CURE T-shirt? Would you buy one?

We first spotted Nicky Hilton in her whimsical Vogue t-shirt earlier in the week, and then we spotted Ashley Tisdale in her equally adorable illustrated T-shirt yesterday on a shopping spree at Kitson. Turns out the hot tees come from Trash & Luxury, a glam new line by L.A. designer Hushi Mortezaie. It seems he got his quirky style from his mentor Patricia Field– the famed Sex & the City stylist responsible for SJP and cast’s outlandishly fashionable costumes. When it comes to his own line, Hushi Mortezaie designs T-shirts that meld a glamorous spirit with a hint of comfort– and what is more glamorous than Vogue? For the first Trash & Luxury collection, Hushi takes his inspiration from ’80s-era New York, the real-life dream world of Los Angeles, Hollywood by night — and a magazine that’s earned its own song. Love the Vogue tees? Get Ashley’s Trash & Luxury tops, $48, at shopkitson.com and Nicky’s, $48 , also at shopkitson.com

Former Primp designer Alexx Jae launched a line of organic t-shirts for the Environmental Media Association on February 13 at one of LA’s premiere fashionista havens, Milk, whose clients include Zooey Deschanel, Rachel Bilson, Mandy Moore, and the Simpson sisters. “People think the environment is so not cute or hippie-ish, and I wanted to show that it could be really hip and cute,” says the L.A.-reared designer, who no doubt was inspired by her mom, the head of EMA. The super-soft tees and cardigans feature pro-environment messages written in light ink, like “Where’s your hybrid?” and “Compact fluorescents are sexy.” “I would never wear anything with a saying so loud so I wanted to make it very subtle,” says the environmentalist, who also uses bamboo in her sophisticated high-end collection, due out in the fall. Emily VanCamp, for one, was sold on the message: “I think it’s fabulous! I bought a cardigan. I’m all for a healthy environment, healthy clothes.” Other celeb fans: Anna Faris, who hosted the party, Amy Smart, Heather Graham, and Alexx Jae’s childhood BFF, Nicole Richie. “Nicole wears my stuff. She has to!” says the designer, who will donate 100% of the proceeds to EMA. Click here to buy the t-shirts, $75, at shopatmilk.com.
