Additionally,when you need subtitles, every time you speak the native tongue (ENGLISH) of the land you live in because no one can understand a word you're saying, this is troubling and problematic.

What difference does it make that she can speak four languages when her English can barely be understood?

So let go of this notion that speaking 4 languages is of any importance here.
Moot.

Anyhow, this designer who says she won't be "dressing Melania" IMO is just out for publicity, taking advantage of the turmoil in the media and among the left following the election of the man they had vowed to destroy. And I don't think Melania will ever notice her absence.
I know, a lot of times Michele looked like she was wearing a poodle dress from the 50's. (see, I resisted saying tent)

"Michelles' Fashion Designer Won't Be Dressing Melania"

Lol. I doubt that Melania cares, she doesn't really need a fashion designer.

I guess I don't get why people have to attack Michelle Obama over this. IMO the family of a politician should be off limits unless the name is Hillary.

What's new is that students are throwing out food they're forced to take under the Michelle Mandate, which has done little to improve nutritional health and much to increase food waste.

"Melania Trump Takes Stage in a $2,190 Dress at the Republican National Convention (and It Sold Out in Less Than an Hour)

Melania Trump is making an obvious statement in her white dress: She’s ready for the White House! The wife of presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump took center stage at the Republican National Convention in style, wearing a gorgeous white design with bell sleeves. The 46-year-old Slovenian model donned a cotton silk off-white “Margot” dress by London-based designer Roksanda Ilincic, which she bought herself through Net-a-Porter, WWD reports. And she chose the $2,190 stunner, which she paired with Christian Louboutin heels, without the assistance of a stylist."

Designers Refuse to Dress Melania, Ivanka Trump: Sources

1. Would love to see the new FLOTUS give hungry, up and coming American designers a chance to shine while she wore their clothing

2. If you are a bakery owner and refuse to make a wedding cake for a gay couple you're a hater. If you're a designer and refuse to offer your designs to the FLOTUS you're taking a stand against hate. No double standard there, eh?


It's funny because it didn't happen yet.


Probably the beginnings of any interest in who dressed the FLOTUS came with Jackie Kennedy, prior to that cannot think anyone gave a hoot where Mamie Eisenhower or the rest got their clothing. A few First Ladies post JBKO were fashion plates in that they sparked intense interest (Nancy Reagan comes to mind), but it isn't as if designers were kept on from administration to administration.


Sophie Theallet is far from a household name, and there are literally scores of major and minor fashion houses/designers in Europe and the United States. While some *MAY* heed Mlle Theallet's cry, you can almost rest assured 99.9% of the rest would jump at the chance to work with Mrs. Trump.


While the Trumps may be reviled by the liberal left and their followers, but rest assured within their own world of what passes for New York society these days that feeling is not universal. In particular the Jewess wives, mothers, daughters and other females from the great real estate and banking families of New York/North East see nothing amiss with Mrs. Trump and would likely patronize any designer or whatever the woman chose; just as they mostly all follow the same currently. When you consider the vast fortunes of these women, just one or perhaps a few orders would be more than enough to put any fashion house over.


In any event the whole thing seems largely moot at this point. Unlike the first Mrs. Trump (story at the time was her salary from DT for working on the Plaza Hotel was one dollar per, and all the dresses she could buy), the third seems far more practical in her shopping, that is she buys much of her wardrobe off the rack/online.
