FASHION BOYCOTT: First lady designer refuses to dress Melania Trump
Designer Sophie Theallet isn’t a fan of President-elect Donald Trump and has announced she’s refusing to dress the next 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 in an open letter she posted to Twitter on Thursday. “The rhetoric of racism, sexism, and xenophobia unleashed by her husband’s presidential campaign are incompatible with the shared values we live by.”
Theallet, 52, is a French-born designer who grew to prominence by dressing current first lady Michelle Obama on a number of occasions.
“As an immigrant in this country, I have been blessed with the opportunity to pursue my dreams in the USA,” she added. “Dressing the First Lady Michelle Obama for the past 8 years has been a highlight and an honor. She has contributed to having our name recognized and respected worldwide.”
In addition to eliminating herself from the potential list of designers who may dress Trump during her tenure, Theallet is calling on all designers to join the boycott...

First Lady Malania Trump may not get one of a kind outfits from designers, but what are they going to do, kick her out of every store in the US except maybe for Walmart? That designer is not all that smart. If Malania Trump doesn't normally wear excessively priced outfits, she probably won't start now. She is, after all, married to a billionaire and could buy and wear any darn thing she wants.

I'm sure that Melania will have no problem with other designers flocking to her door and Ivanka even has a line of clothing too.
...and speaking of Ivanka, they're trying to do a boycott on her:

I love Michelle's style and 95% of the outfits she wears, but those "designs" above are definitely NOT her finest moments.

I'm sure there are dozens of gifted designers eager to get those Trump $dollars$. LOL
And Ivanka can handle it as well.
