Karl Lagerfeld likely will join Ralph Lauren in dressing the incoming first lady.
Who will dress Melania?
With the big event just days away, two names churning about the rumor mill make all the sense in the world. As my colleague Rosemary Feitelberg reported on Monday, one of those names is Ralph Lauren. The other: Karl Lagerfeld. Yes, that Karl Lagerfeld.
If accurate, that rock-star combo will transport Melania Trump to Inauguration Day fashion Nirvana. Her wardrobe choices for the swearing in of Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States, and later, for the inaugural balls, are the most loaded fashion matter ever to involve the White House. That includes whether Jackie Kennedy enlisted Oleg Cassini to “interpret” European clothes, whether Nancy Reagan “borrowed” too liberally from designers, and the freedom-of-the-press brouhaha that resulted when WWD’s John Fairchild refused supplied, embargoed details about Luci Baines Johnson’s wedding gown, preferring to report out and publish in advance a sketch of the Priscilla Boston dress.

Liberal heads will explode. They have been trying to get America to look to the Wookie as fashion icon but...yuk!
Melania Trump, Lauren and Lagerfeld are class. (LOVE RALPH LAUREN!!!)
Halston did not do Nancy. She was big on Galanos and her suits were essentially Chanel inspired by American designer whose name escapes me. Why I know these things is a mystery.
Nancy liked Catherine Herrera and Bill Blass, as I recall.
THAT will be the permanently etched image of MO in my memory.......it is only a 'boob belt' away from perfection!
Whomever has been doing it, keep it up!
You left out shower curtains,!!
Don't care who they are, nobody can surpass the boob-belts designed for Michelle.....
Why was my post #24 removed? I was pointing out that Halston did, in fact, design clothes for Nancy Reagan. I didn’t have any photos in the post, so, why?
Actually, Halston did design for Nancy Reagan. I pointed this out in a reply that the moderators, for some reason, removed. Just do a search for "Halston" and "Nancy Reagan" and you get many search results.
I guess everyone likes different stuff. Yeah, I’m a Chanel fan too. Ralph Lauren not so much. But there are others here who like Ralph Lauren and are yelling at me because of it. lol
Oh, I guess I don’t remember. I do remember Bill Blass and Oscar always presented beautiful clothes.
See reply #51.
That’s what I kept posting too and I don’t know WHY I know this either. It must have been in the news a lot.
