The founder of the Trumpettes support group, a close friend of the Trumps, revealed that fashion titans are “begging to dress” Melania on Inauguration Day.
As Melania Trump is on her way to starting a new career move, going back to her First Lady days, all eyes will be on her fashion picks for the Inauguration Day, especially since the last political affair fared out on a controversial note. In January 2017, the former model settled for a £5,500 powder blue cashmere dress and bolero, thanks to Ralph Lauren stepping up as one of the few designers to volunteer to create an outfit for her on a big day for the US presidency's new chapter.
This time around, a new wave has swept in. Although major fashion giants wanted to steer clear of Donald Trump’s “toxic” brand of politics years ago, countless big players in the industry are now knocking at their door so that Melania could be seen flaunting their creation on January 20. Now that the incoming first lady has “come out from under husband’s shadow,” as highlighted by David Adler, founder of Washington high society magazine Washington Dossier, she is equally playing the game in her own rights. While her final outfit choice is still “up in the air,” Toni Holt Kramer, founder of the Trumpettes support group, affirmed that her final piece “will go down in history.”
