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.

Every time I saw Moochelle it looked like she was wearing something designed by Peoria Tent and awning.

I agree.. Melania could wear a newspaper dress and look fashionable.

I must have missed the part where Melania Trump was clamoring for this hag's crap clothing./s

I am amusedly reminded of this classic movie scene:

Shop assistant: “Hello, can I help you?”

Vivian: “I was in here yesterday; you wouldn’t wait on me.”

Shop assistant: “Oh.”

Vivian: “You people work on commission, right?”

Shop assistant: “Yeah.”

Vivian: “Big mistake. Big. Huge. I have to go shopping now.”

--Vivian Ward, Pretty Woman

Moochelle dresses like a cleaning lady.

Melania didn’t ask her.

I wouldn’t want her dressing my dog with her ugly designs.

Omar the Tentmaker?

I agree. Good call.

1. Never heard of her
2. MT has her own clothing line
3. This is a publicity stunt to get the designer's name out there.

Would it be out of line to mention she’s already quite attractive - even if she’s wearing nothing at all??

I am getting so full of popcorn.

This will allow a brand new group of aspiring designers to become famous.

If it’s the guy that’s been frocking Moochelle, he’s a no talent hack, anyway. Why would the Trumps want to go there anyhow?

lol

[Neidermeyer]

I’ve seen what MOO-chelle wears ... Why would anyone want those designers to dress them?

[AFreeBird]

>>> Oh my, but she is a beauty. There isn’t a man alive that wouldn’t volunteer to dress that woman. <<<

Erm... well..... uhh..... ummmm....

Not gonna touch that one. Nope!

She's a hypocrite cause if she really believed in what she claims, she'd respect Melania's opinions as much as her own and be willing to dress her.

Besides, Melania would look good in anything.

She doesn't NEED a "fashion designer" to "dress" her.

"As one who celebrates and strives for diversity, individual freedom and respect for all lifestyles"...

I'm beginning to suspect the Left is oblivious to irony.

Media is po’d at Trump for eating without them and he is using TMZ. A designer refuses to dress the First Lady. I think it is time to invest in many new startup companies and leave these oh so tolerant losers in the dust.

I know, I know... this winning. It’s just too much!

LOL. No, it isn’t...
