Fashion Maven Urges Fellow Designers to Refuse to ‘Dress’ Melania Trump
Breitbart ^ | 18 Nov 2016 | Dr. Susan Berry

Posted on 11/18/2016 9:19:27 AM PST by detective

Fashion designer Sophie Theallet is urging her colleagues in couture to follow her example by refusing to “dress” the future first lady Melania Trump.

“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, reports Elle. “The rhetoric of racism, sexism, and xenophobia unleashed by her husband’s presidential campaign are incompatible with the shared values we live by. I encourage my fellow designers to do the same.”

I recall that the fashion industry did the same thing to Nancy Reagan.

Who cares? She’d look better in a dress off the rack of a department store than Moochelle would in the finest of fineries.

That’s OK. Ivanka has a clothing line, doesn’t she?

I think that Melania will be able to do just fine without them. This is an opportunity for a young, hungry designer to make a name for themselves.

Well, I can’t blame them. It would certainly be more challenging than designing tent suits for Hillary.

So she’ll have to go naked?

Hmmmmmm.

This might be one boycott by the left that I can support...

Hey Sophie. Melania Trump will look good in anything she wears. Unlike Moochelle and Hillary, she doesn’t need a team of dressers and makeup artists and hair stylists to make her look presentable. Hopefully your tantrum will help make people realize that they don’t need dopes like you to tell them what to wear.

She just does not like Melania because she’s a woman, and an immigrant. We should shun such bigots and ignore their hate speech.

They’re as dumb as the LefTards in Hollywood. Alienate half of your paying customers, why don’t ya?

Idjits.

I’m pretty sure that Melania, being a fashion model and not having gained an ounce in 20 years, has quite the full clothes closets, already.

She should show up somewhere in a barrel, just to make the point that ‘designers’ won’t dress her, LOL!

Please, yes, please. All of you (fashion industry companies). Stand your ground. Don’t dress Melania.

A rollover of the fashion industry would be a good thing.

Nancy had a fantastic sense of humor. I recommend the same for Melania to deal with these sore losers.

This is dumber than dumb.

I assume designers are beating down her door, trying to dress her for the inauguration and inauguration balls...I know I would be, if I were a fashion designer.

Trump is Fabulous!

The level of hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness in this one statement is a wonder to behold.
