In this week before St. Louis Fashion Week blows the dust off the runways of our midwestern city, we at PubDef.net will be taking a look at the fashion sense of some of our favorite politicos. Everyday this week, look for photos and interviews with some serious people about some not-so-serious things like “windsor or shell knots?”, “tailored or rack?”, “boxer or briefs?”

As we know, St. Louis isn’t always the most glamorous place, but when Florissant native Kimora Lee Simmons is in town it almost makes up for all the sweatpants and Cardinals baseball caps.

Here are pictures of her Fashion Week launch party March 15 at Lumiere Place Hotel & Casino in downtown St. Louis featuring her friends making faces in photo booths, the Vau de Vire Society Circus and the St. Lunatics performing. Let the fabulosity begin! (All photos from Wire Image)
