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.

Are they thinking that Melania doesn’t already have a host of designers on her staff already?

Isn’t she violating the civil rights laws by refusing to provide services on the basis of marital status?

Sue her butt off and take her before the New York State Civil Rights Commission!

The “designer” is a LIB freak. Her “dresses” for the mooch reflect the tranny in “him”, consisting of large swaths of used curtains...held-up by a boob belt. Great designing there...you talentfree loser.

I googled her and clicked on images. Looks to me like she specializes in clothing for women whose hips are, as they say, “two axe handles wide.”

Having Michelle wear your clothing has been the kiss of death for designers. Her first inaugural dress looked like it was a recycled bedspread. She was as big as a horse and nothing looked good on her. Her Jimmy Choo inaugural green shoes were large enough to seal the Gulf oil spill.

Melania could wear a burlap bag and look good, Your are looking at the fashion of the future versus the tasteless crap of the past.

Im willing to bet Melania looks better in off the rack jeans and a tshirt than this broad does in anything.

Sophie designs tents and awnings for fat chicks. Doubt if Melania would have any interest in the junk.

Did Melania even ASK her to design clothes?? And who would want to dress like Moochelle anyway? Melania has MUCH better taste!

i agree with you.
excepting only its a matter of “optics” ...
all the $20,000 designer dresses being paraded about by some of the D females have alienated a lot of regular Americans

anyway you are , of course, correct

thanks
