“There’s one first lady, and she’ll do remarkable things”, Trump replied, apparently referring to her stepmother Melania Trump. “But I think we can also appreciate and understand that it takes some time to adjust to this role that nobody can prepare you for completely”.
The 23-year-old daughter of Mr Trump and ex-wife American actress Marla Marples mirrored Melania Trump and wore a black military-style peacoat festooned with gold buttons. It is also one reason social scientists have shied away from studying first ladies, directing their attention instead to women in elected office, and consequently, exacerbating the irresponsible double stereotype of first ladies as powerless political bystanders and unworthy topics of serious academic consideration. And if reports from Women’s Wear Daily are correct, all signs point to Ralph Lauren, both for an inauguration ensemble and a gown for evening balls.
Since Donald Trump won the elections, designers keep weighing on whether they will dress Melania Trump or not.
Among speculations as to who will design Trump’s dress, Ralph Lauren has emerged as the front-runner. “I think it’s an inappropriate observation”, Ivanka says in the clip.
Yet, despite the appeal to increased fame for designers, the Slovenian-born former model has fewer options than usual this year.
However, multiple other designers have expressed an interest in dressing the first family.
Meanwhile her husband, Jared Kushner, would start his new gig at the White House, where he’ll serve as ‘Senior Advisor’. “The rhetoric of racism, sexism, and xenophobia unleashed by her husband’s presidential campaign are incompatible with the shared values we live by“.
There is very little precedent for presidential progeny playing such a formal White House role, in part because of nepotism laws. According to Trump, Melania had never asked Ford to dress her for inauguration.
“Yet given the pair’s stature at fashion’s pinnacle, saying yes to Trump may send a message to less-secure designing colleagues, some of whom have prior relationships with her but now fear bottom-line business repercussions”. Today, she attended a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery wearing a coat from Norisol Ferrari, a relatively small NYC-based label. He went with her to Paris to shop the couture shows to find her wedding dress for a 2005 Vogue feature.
