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.”

Sure they can.

The buyer [Melania] has to go in to buy something. Is shown the line. Choses something, then goes in for a series of fittings to make sure the dress flows correctly.

I don’t know if you are m/f but haven’t you ever bought a suit?

Runway gets all the press, and while ready to wear is often less weird, look where designers are starting from.

Melania ought to start her own clothing line. And if she does, please do tall sizes.

I just looked up her designs on line, if my wife owned any of that crap, I would be using it for grease rags in the shop.

Melania favors Lauren. i hope he has his senses. He’s brilliant, but boycotting can go two ways.

From August via the Blind Squirrel Dept....

Why are sales suffering at so many women’s stores? They made bad clothes.

Not Kohl’s. They’ve been allowing men inside the women’s dressing rooms for years. Witnessed it with my own eyes and they refused to remove the guy. Also, Kohl’s came out against Trump.

Mid-line designer items can be bought online ... just check Daily Mail.

I suspect real top line designers will not want any part of this. its a business!

Be extra generous by letting your cousin lay claim to grandma’s sofa when the time comes.

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

Melania has a jewelry line. Coordinate between the two lines and they're both set.

I decided to take a look just to be fair.
MADE ME LAUGH.
My wife teaches mentally and physically handicapped pre-school children (they are all little darlins), they always have a pre Christmas fashion show.
As a dutiful husband I am required to attend if I happen to be down south during that time.
All the kids are required to design their own outfits for the show and then strut their stuff.
Now I know where this so called fashion designer STEALS her designs.

Melania wears boob belts. But they don’t look like an explosive device or a tire

Oh, my! Sophie forgot to design panties for one of the outfits.

Sophie looks like Uncle Fester’s twin sister which explains a lot. Fester got all the creative talent.
