Tommy Hilfiger: Designers should be 'proud' to dress Melania Trump

Tommy Hilfiger: Designers should be 'proud' to dress Melania Trump © Getty Images Tommy Hilfiger says fashion designers should be proud to dress incoming first lady Melania Trump and not politicize the issue.

“I think Melania is a very beautiful woman and I think any designer should be proud to dress her,” Hilfiger told Women's Wear Daily.

“I don’t think people should become political about it. Everyone was very happy to dress Michelle [Obama] as well. I think they look great in the clothes. You’re not gonna get much more beautiful than Ivanka or Melania.”

Hilfiger's comments come after designer Sophie Theallet said she would refuse to dress the incoming first lady and encouraged others to do the same. She called her boycott a protest to Donald Trump's "racism, sexism and xenophobia."

"As one who celebrates and strives for diversity, individual freedom and respect for all lifestyles, I will not participate in dressing or associating in any way with the next First Lady," Theallet wrote in a letter.

Heck - I’d dress her for free!

And I’m not even a designer.

Mrs. Trump in my opinion does not need anyone to dress her. She always looks fabulous!

I agree, unlike her predecessor who looked like she shopped for clothes at the Salvation Army thrift store.

Funny. Hilfiger is HUGE in the fashion industry.

Never heard of Theallet before her little hissy fit. Poor Melania. Whatever will she do without that charmer to “dress” her???

Do these simpleton designers not realize First Lady Melania Trump likely already has *HUNDREDS* of new garments in storage, any of which would be appropriate for any formal affairs of state?

Funny how refusing to dress someone out of political principles is acceptable, but refusing to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple out of religious principles is not.

Liberal hypocrisy at its finest.

BTW — Melania could show up in a T-shirt & jeans and still look great!

LOL, but see, you now know who the malcontent designer is. Got to give her credit, she sure knew how to shore up her base of liberal clients.

Hilfiger, simply understands economics and is probably smart enough to know that Mrs. Trump is going to be THE most watched fashion woman in modern history. She will rival Princess Di.

Tommy speaks like a man who wants to get paid. Good for him.

That’s Mrs. Trump you’re talking about.

MO gate is just hideous, however the woman on the left is hideous too, but in a different way; no rear, no leg muscles. MO looks like a dude but far left woman looks like a walking eating disorder.

If Sophie found out how many Americans have no idea (and don’t care) who she is, she would need Play-Doh and a therapy dog.

I think Mrs. Trump is old enough and classy enough to dress herself. The fashion critics went crazy over Michelle Obama which proved that they were heavily into drugs. Michelle needed someone to dress her. Where were they?
