Melania Trump is proving to the fashion designers who said they wouldn’t help her that dressing well is the best revenge.

The first lady’s trip to Saudi Arabia, the Vatican, Belgium and Sicily — wearing mostly Dolce & Gabbana — was a fashion tour de force that has forced many naysayers in the rag trade to rethink.

The list of designers who said they wouldn’t dress Melania is long, led by Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, Zac Posen, Christian Siriano and Sophie Theallet.

But Melania has managed to look smashing in dozens of different ensembles, from her white Ralph Lauren jumpsuit on election night to the D&G 3-D floral coat she wore in Sicily on Friday.

I am liking your post. It’s so much fun to have Melania as FLOTUS.

[Mamzelle]

Especially Tom Ford. Poor Emo Twink.

[GnuThere]

She should try something like that, to shut up the “OMG she’s elitist in her $50K jacket” critics. Throwing them off would be hilarious.

[RetiredTexasVet]

I have to admit that even a $25 dress from Walmart would look better on Melania than a %15,000 rag from one of those designers on Moo!

[EDINVA]

I’m surprised they haven’t attacked her for not wearing those American designers’ outfits, but going with the Italian, Dolce & Gabbana instead. She does wear Ralph Lauren who outfitted her for the Inauguration. Gabbana praises her and her style. Those other fools, nameless to most of us, would have benefitted had they the good sense, and common decency, not to petulantly attack our FLOTUS-to be.

I think that flower jacket had a meaning for Europe that we don’t get. More kitch than couture.

That has been my TL since McCain was running. He and every democrat denies walls work. Yet each protects their personal residences with locked doors and sometimes walls. It was simply a plea that if their position was true, they would tear away the WH fence as it is unnecessary.

Remember there are many on "our" team who work against us too.

When these designers were refusing to dress Melania, I immediately volunteered.
Turns out dressing Melania didn’t mean what I thought it meant.

Just my opinion, but that piece is art, not kitch. I had a discussion yesterday w/someone about it and have been thinking. It reminds me of a Klimt painting.

You are correct, though: it isn’t couture. But it is fun. I’m looking forward to seeing others attempt to wear it without being worn, instead.

If it starts a trend, I expect knockoffs will be seen in the boutiques and the juried handcraft shows. I’m pretty sure the various techniques for those individual flowers are available on the web with a little searching. I’d like to see something shorter with the flowers as strategic detail instead of all-over. Maybe a bomber jacket.

It’s been a long, long time since I cared about fashion. If Melania can revive that for an old lady like me, I wonder how she is affecting younger women.

[DesertRhino]

I don’t understand. How can a designer refuse to dress someone? Lets say Wrangler Jeans and Carhart said they would no longer dress me.
I could go right down and buy the sizes I want and wear them... right?

I could accept my academy award wearing them and they couldn’t do a damned thing about it.

I don’t get it.

[Mears]

If it’s for sale at retail of course you could wear it-——but most of these dresses the First Ladies wear are designed just for them.

[bigtoona]

I don’t want other designers to dress her like a literal CLOWN like they did with the Mooch.

Also, she could wear used mens underwear for an outfit and still look elegant.

[DesertRhino]

Well thats ignorant. IG-nert!

The Fake News MSM does not have any tastes in Women's clothes and Melania not only has the good tastes in clothes but is also very attractive.

The deplorable first lady Moochelle Obama looked so unattractive in whatever she wore and she was outfitted with some expensive clothes which did not even help her looks or attractiveness!

[Billthedrill]

“She doesn’t need couture. She can buy off the rack, and it looks beautiful,” Bloch said. “She knows her size, and she knows what works on her. She luxuriates in minimal.”

Most of the designers making great virtue-signalling noises about not dressing her, weren't ever asked. Nor ever will be.

Look, she's an ex-professional with exquisite taste who is in her comfort zone. She's having the time of her life, and it shows. Nothing the critics say matters the slightest bit.

[GnuThere]

Yes, some of those were “inspired” by runway shows but altered in some way for Melania, the length or adornments, whatever. The shimmery silver dress was above the knee in the runway show.

To any other unmarried bachelors on FR. Visit Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia. You won’t be disappointed.
