It baffles me why designers won't dress the US First Lady Melania Trump, Still yet to figure out why that is happening.Christian Siriano is an American fashion designer and member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America joins too. Check On What He Has To Say On It.
Ever since Sophie Theallet penned an open letter in January claiming that she would refuse to dress first lady Melania Trump,
other fashion designers have been asked to weigh in too. While many have chosen to keep quiet on the matter, those who have given their opinions so far seem to be split.
Some have sided in favor of Trump, adding what an honor it would be to dress Melania. However, a few seem to have echoed Theallet's sentiments, making it clear they are simply not interested in dressing the Trump family now that they're in the White House.
Christian Siriano Says
"I don't think I would [dress Melania Trump]. I think for a while everyone was trying to figure out what to do. Unfortunately, it really doesn't have anything to do with her, but she is representing what's happening politically and what's happening politically right now is not really good for anyone. I think to an extent, it's important [that designers speak out about this], that's the only voice we have. But it's not just her. If I got a call from somebody tomorrow that was, say, a musician, who was all over Twitter or Instagram hate-bashing people, I wouldn't dress her either. I dress people that I can support. ... That's why it's important to me and it should be important to every designer because the people that you put in your brand represent the brand."
