Weatherproof spotted a photo of President Barack Obama on the Great Wall of China wearing one of their jackets, enlarged it and now he’s on their billboard in Times Square. President, Nobel Peace Prize Winner, and now Model!?! Good job Obama on making just about every other US President look like shit.

Complaints about celebrities starting fashion lines are ever-present and extreme: although slighting annoying and definitely to blame for the lack of young American designers getting press celebrity designers really aren’t that bad. Some of them are actually really good, like the Olsen twins who were recently praised by Cathy Horyn, New York Magazine’s Fashion Critic. That said, Al Roker’s potential line of rainwear for Weatherproof seems to have absolutely no potential. He may be popular as a weather man, but I can’t think of any American who yields him as a fashion icon. The above mixture of a baseball cap and a suit is proof enough that the man lacks fashion sense. This seems like a collaboration failure to me.
