Ralph Lauren Will Reportedly Dress Melania Trump for the Inauguration
Harper's Bazaar ^ | January 17, 2017 | Lauren Alexis Fisher

Posted on 01/17/2017 3:24:57 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Since November, fashion designers have been debating the ubiquitous question: to dress or not to dress future First Lady Melania Trump? Ahead of this Friday's inauguration, it looks like Ralph Lauren has chosen the former.

According to WWD, the American label (Ralph Lauren himself stepped down as CEO in 2015) is reportedly working on a gown and an Inauguration Day look for the First-Lady-to-be. Throughout the presidential election, Lauren was a Hillary Clinton supporter and even designed all the pantsuits worn by the Democratic nominee at the presidential debates (along with many more along the trail).

But unlike some of fashion's other outspoken designers, it looks like Lauren will be putting politics aside and embracing bipartisanship when it comes to dressing Mrs. Trump. If so, the American brand will be the first to dress the new First Lady.

How can you screw up and make our Melania look bad?

Of course Hillary looked like crap—you can’t make chicken salad out of chicken s**t. Even if you’re a good cook.

I hope he’s not responsible for some of Hillary’s more hideous jackets, though.

Our Melania may get an original creation. She will make it look magnificent and Lauren will sell thousands of them the next day.

Melania looks good in anything. Lucky is any designer chosen to dress her. World’s greatest ad ever.

I can picture her in a long elegant cream colored dress with silver cascading down the front of it.

I have the perfect thing. Add a ruby red star pendant and watch moonbat heads explode. Besides, she'd rock that look.

His Bugatti type 57SC may be the most beautiful car ever made (Jaguar E type not withstanding)

Ralph Lauren, unlike the unknowns who are refusing to “dress” Melania Trump, has been a fashion icon for four or five decades. Apparently he retired in 2015. He’s already made more of a fortune than most of us can conceive of. Not much they can do to him.

If Ralph is too busy, I’d do it.

But, I’m rather poor at it, and there might be several dressings and undressings before I get it right. We’re talking hours here.

I cannot believe that we even have stories like this. Designers... actors... death threats and boycotts. What happened to you, America?

We stopped immigration screening for socialists; now we're crawling with them.

I couldn’t agree more, the 57SC is the greatest piece of Art Deco ever! Absolutely magnificent.
