HIP LIST Who says politics is drab? L.A. entrepreneurs Marie Condron and Ian Riekes Trivers asked designers to create something au courant for the Gore-Lieberman campaign. Using the same techniques designers applied to '80s rock shirts this fashion season, they cut, slashed, fringed and studded campaign shirts for that oh-so-now glam-T look. Price: $25. While the G.O.P. has no clothing line for the cool kids, Bush did score big glam points when he was endorsed by goth rocker Marilyn Manson. But Bush spokesman Tucker Eskew apparently doesn't think the hipster bloc is in play, telling a show-biz magazine, "We do not plan a coalition of Cross-Dressing Glam Rockers for Bush anytime soon."
