The 2016 Democratic National Convention might not have been quite the sartorial circus of, say, the Academy Awards, but it still merits a round of applause. The fashion display was all about American designers — there was hardly an Italian, Frenchman, or Brit in sight, but there was Coach, Michael Kors, and Christian Siriano. See the 10 best looks from the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, here.
