First Lady Issues

A few articles have popped on my timeline about how designers are refusing to dress Melania Trump.  There was a designer by the name of, Sophie Theallet, she was the one who would dress Michelle Obama. Tweet a letter on Thursday makes a good point about her business. Like she said politics and fashion should not be mixing but in the letter she also states that her business is not only about the money but her values and she's stands by them. Her values do not match the ones of Donald Trumps like "the rhetoric of racism, sexism and xenophobia". She encourages her fellow designers to do the same. The was also another designer Kaelen Haworth who dresses Blake Lively who donated the profit of some of her items to organizations such as Planned Parenthood, Black Lives Matter, and every town for gun safety. Not everyone in the industry is believing that the designers will stick to refusing to dress the new first lady. Fashion legend Carolina Herrera, believes that in two to three months everyone is going to want to be dressing her because she is representing the United States. I would say I do agree with Theallet because designers stand for something as a company and you should not change your views because of what others think. Just like people had support her before they will support her after.
