A fashion designer whose styles have been sported by Michelle Obama is boycotting dressing Melania Trump, saying she encourages “my fellow designers to do the same” when it comes to outfitting the next first lady.

"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," Sophie Theallet wrote in a letter this week.

“The rhetoric of racism, sexism, and xenophobia unleashed by her husband’s presidential campaign are incompatible with the shared values we live by,” Theallet wrote about President-elect Donald Trump.

“I encourage my fellow designers to do the same,” she continued.

I have never designed dresses for Michelle, but maybe I should announce that I will refuse to design dresses for her. Makes about as much sense.

Her clothes are crap anyway.

Mrs. Trump probably wouldn’t be caught dead in them.

“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,”

Pretty much sums up the hypocrisy of the entre left.

Someone will dress her.

Melania is such a decent person.

Temper tantrums by these petty designers are so fun to watch.

who gives a rats ass damn?

While this lady could certainly sport a really fine designer outfit well,
it would be SO REFRESHING for American people if she just went to JCPenney or Walmart and found a few nice off=the=-rack dresses

Some of us, anyway, are SO damned tired of having super=expensive rags and jewelry shoved in our faces by every female relation of Obama and his ilk.

If Mr Trump is going to represent and work for us Americans, it would be nice if his family could dress like regular Americans ..... (and yes, I know he’s rich)

"I reject Melania's diversity, individual freedom and respect for her lifestyle."

Oh, I’m sure Melania won’t have an issue getting properly clothed. They’ll be lined up waiting to design something for her. By the time this is all over, Trump will be a bigger brand than McDonald’s.

Melania, a woman actually known for fashion and experienced in fashion, was quoted as saying, “Who?”

Melania could go to Walmart or KMart with $50 and still come out stunning, she doesn’t need someone to design her a tent like the first wookie does

They can all be summed up by the phrase “I’m all for free speech, but....”
