A fashion designer whose styles have been sported by Michelle Obama is boycotting dressing Melania Trump, saying she encourages “my fellow designers to do the same” when it comes to outfitting the next first lady.

"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," Sophie Theallet wrote in a letter this week.

“The rhetoric of racism, sexism, and xenophobia unleashed by her husband’s presidential campaign are incompatible with the shared values we live by,” Theallet wrote about President-elect Donald Trump.

“I encourage my fellow designers to do the same,” she continued.

That’s the winner. I cannot believe she had that on in public. I think it was on a trip to England? What an embarrassment. The first of hundreds of fashion fails for MO.

If Sophie dressed Michelle in a properly-fitting helmet and shoulder pads, she’d have a pretty good linebacker there.

How overpriced are her dresses...never heard of her. Then again as a teen, my fashion sense goes more towards jeans and polo shirts...if I was getting dressed up...

Oh!

What IS that? What would you call her garb? A pixie outfit? What a mess.

Is she wearing one orange sock (which wouldn’t surprise anyone), or is it a reflection of light on her r foot?

Fine. Setting the precedent for Christians not having to serve people that are against their beliefs.

I showed MrR some of her outfits (he actually likes fashion and has a mother and wife who both sew and a Mother in law who was a fashion designer)...anyway his response was “so she designs for overweight trannies?”

Pretty much sums up the clothing

Maybe this designer only knows how to design dresses for Plus Size women with really huge behinds?

I wonder if she designed the mooch’s Inaugural gown made out of a chenille bedspread - or that blue evening skirt that used to be a pool cover.

She could put on cheap jeans and a sweatshirt, and still have people stare. $25 at WalMart would suffice.

Although Michelle IS a tough act to follow:

I researched this designer’s work. She seems to design bras, undies, and dresses for women with AMPLE figures. Fashion that would appeal to Mrs. Obama surely would not appeal to Mrs. Trump.
