What Melania Trump Just Did Proves She Is Going To Be Infinitely Better First Lady Than Michelle White House designer Sophie Theallet sparked controversy earlier this month when she wrote a letter arguing that she would not be dressing Melania Trump as she did Michelle Obama. 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, Theallet wrote in an open letter. The rhetoric of racism, sexism, and xenophobia unleashed by her husbands presidential campaign are incompatible with the shared values we live by. I encourage my fellow designers to do the same. Theallets message got mixed reviews. Some applauded her bravery, while others answered back in disagreement. First lady is first lady, celebrity designer Bradley Scott commented. Its a position that should be exalted not disrespected. I cant believe anyone would basically spit at the opportunity. Its so un-American. As it turns out, the joke is on Theallet. Melania has been well dressed throughout her entire campaign, and certainly doesnt need the help of the woman responsible for many of Michelles outfits. Melania sported designers like Ralph Lauren, Fendi, Gucci, Michael Kors and Dolce Gabbana on the campaign trail. What do you think? Did Theallet just talk herself out of an amazing opportunity?
