Whats With All Of This Fuss Over Who Will Design Clothes For Melania?,Who Cares !!!

[Rexx Taylor]

Lets just hope that First Lady Melania just tells all of those fairys to just leave her alone and {GFY} excuse my polish. Time to time we hear this topic brought up over who may want to, and who will not design her wardrobe. But it seems so far that Melania does not want to be bothered! and none of these flaming dudes can never hold a candle to the first lady! ,,. She already has plenty of nice dresses!, Those designers can just keep designing the wardrobe for the Obama's for all we care.

Glenn Beck brought this up today, and I felt the same way. I hope that when they call her, she can tell all of them to GFY!

I don't care about the dresses, one way or the other.

I DO care, however, about the application of dual standards. We sue a bakery into oblivion because they don't want to serve a wedding cake at a gay wedding ... but we allow political discrimination to go unaddressed.

What's good for the good SHOULD be good for the gander.(For the liberal urban 'elite', that means what is fair for one person should be fair for all.)

I would like to see Mrs. Trump at the inauguration looking just like this. The NRA would love it.

Left throwing a tantrum. I am pretty sure she will have no trouble finding designers. Here is the point of view of about 20 designers.

Joseph Altuzarra: “I don’t want to not dress people I disagree with.”

[The New York Times]

Thom Browne: “Out of respect for the position of the first lady of our United States, I would be honored to be considered to design for any first lady of the United States.”

[WWD]

Tom Ford: “I was asked to dress her [Melania Trump] quite a few years ago and I declined. She’s not necessarily my image.”

[The View]

Steffano Gabbana: The Italian designer posted a photo on Instagram of the incoming First Lady after she wore one of his designs on New Year’s Eve, captioning the photo, “Melania Trump #DGwoman thank you #madeinitaly.”

[Instagram]

Carolina Herrera: “I think that in two or three months they’ll reach out, because it’s fashion. You’ll see everyone dressing Melania. She’s representing the United States.”

[Business of Fashion]

Tommy Hilfiger: “I think Melania is a very beautiful woman and I think any designer should be proud to dress her. Ivanka is equally as beautiful and smart, although she wears her own clothes. I don’t think people should become political about it. Everyone was very happy to dress Michelle [Obama] as well. I think they look great in the clothes. You’re not gonna get much more beautiful than Ivanka or Melania.”

[WWD]

Marc Jacobs: “I have no interest whatsoever in dressing Melania Trump. I didn’t see [Sophie Theallet’s] letter. Personally, I’d rather put my energy into helping out those who will be hurt by [Donald] Trump and his supporters.”

[WWD]

Calvin Klein: “Of course I would.”

[TMZ]

Derek Lam: “What a tough question to answer now that the election has been decided! I’ve been slammed on social media when expressing an opinion about the election outcome. I was warned by people that I should not make an opinion, which could alienate a client. Having been duly warned, my response is, while I have incredible respect for our country’s political institutions, I find it challenging to be personally involved in dressing the new first lady. I would rather concentrate my energies on efforts towards a more just, honorable and a mutually respectful world. I don’t know Melania Trump personally, so I don’t wish my comments to seem I am prejudging her personal values, but I really don’t see myself getting involved with the Trump presidency.”

[WWD]

Humberto Leon, Kenzo and Opening Ceremony: “No one should and if she buys your clothes, tell people you don’t support it. You know who you are!”

[Facebook]

Phillip Lim: “It’s been such an emotional roller coaster of an election process. The result has only confirmed my belief that we must stand for what we represent as a brand, so my sentiment is still the same. As a global brand, we are always looking to partner with individuals that we have authentic relationships with — ultimately, women and men that share similar set of values, desires and ideologies: inclusion, diversity, justice, consciousness, innovation…. With that said, we do not have a current relationship with Mrs. Trump and I don’t foresee a relationship developing under the Trump administration.”

[WWD]

Cynthia Rowley: “In the midst of this heated debate, the question actually seems somewhat irrelevant. She can simply purchase whatever she wants, so how can we control it? Just because she’s shown wearing a designer does not mean that designer is endorsing her, her husband or any of their beliefs. Checking someone’s ethical beliefs before they’re allowed to purchase, sets up an exclusionary dynamic that feeds into the exact mentality that is preventing us from moving forward in a positive direction. Some people say fashion and politics should never mix, but when given the choice, I think you should address and dress your conscience.”

[WWD]

Sophie Theallet: “As one who celebrates and strives for diversity, individual freedom, and respect for all lifestyles. I will not participate in dressing or associate myself in any way with the next First Lady. The rhetoric of racism, sexism, and xenophobia unleashed by her husband’s presidential campaign are incompatible with the shared values we live by.”

[Twitter]

Christian Siriano: “Unfortunately, at this time, what Melania and her world represents, I just don’t think represents… we don’t share the same values and the same things, as a lot of designers, especially a lot of young gay designers [feel]. It’s very hard to support people that don’t support you, which has only been a thing — I’m not supporting anybody who doesn’t support me, so that’s my biggest thing. So we’ll see how the four years go.”

[Bustle]

Diane von Furstenberg: “Donald Trump was elected and he will be our president. Melania deserves the respect of any first lady before her. Our role as part of the fashion industry is to promote beauty, inclusiveness, diversity. We should each be the best we can be and influence by our example.”

[WWD]

Marcus Wainwright, Rag & Bone: “It would be hypocritical to say no to dressing a Trump. If we say we are about inclusivity and making American manufacturing great again, then we have to put that before personal political beliefs.”

[The New York Times]

Vera Wang: “We have not been contacted by the Trump campaign or administration thus far. But the first lady-elect should support American fashion, as did her predecessors.”

[WWD]

 

[Rexx Taylor]

Im sure Joe Biden wants to design and put the dress on her

 

[ColonelAngus]

I would like to see Mrs. Trump at the inauguration looking just like this. The NRA would love it.

It's amazing how good she looks now compared to that 17 year old picture. Good for her.

Obama also looks good in old photos like this one. Good for him.

 

[JimBowie1958]

I dont know about who designs her dresses and pantsuits (does she ever wear pantsuits?) but I happily volunteer to do all the measuring for her.

For free...with a smile.

 

[JimBowie1958]

Me and Biden seem to have that in common. lol

That might be the most meaningless issue facing us today. I hope Duck Dynasty becomes her designer.

I don't think so, but consumers are allowed to do whatever they choose. Lawsuits over turning down a request is stupid...just like any other lawsuit about choosing who you want to do business with.

It seems that the lovely first lady has plenty of designers.

But his pictures don't give me a chubby. Do they give you a chubby?

Why do you think she dresses that way? For the guys.

She should be a real woman and make her own cloths.
