Swing designer?

From today's NYT:
Two weeks ago, at the Republican National Convention, Laura Bush wore a blue Oscar de la Renta suit, and the designer himself had a coveted seat in the Bush family box. "It was like an American experience," said Mr. de la Renta, a native of the Dominican Republic, who is what pollsters would probably identify as a swing designer. He makes clothes for Teresa Heinz Kerry, too.

The fabulous girl doesn't believe in designers swinging - it's like being a gay Republican - but I guess you can't control who buys your goods ... would that you could.

  • I wonder what he meant by "like." Could Oscar be a subtle satirist...?

  • Mr. de la Renta has spent many years designing for various ladies who lunch and I suspect that a well developed funny bone has helped him through.
