While some of America continues to provoke hate, speak harsh words, and feel ill emotions about the inauguration, I've decided to focus on something much more positive: Melania Trump's baby blue attire. You can love her, you can hate her, but you cannot deny the woman's sense of fashion.
To The Designers Who Refused To Dress Melania Trump,
This is for you. So listen up Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford, Sophie Theallet, and the fifteen plus of your fashionista friends who refused to dress our country's new first lady. I hope that as you watched Melania parading gracefully down the streets of our nation's capital your jaw managed to hit the floor.
Ralph Lauren is an utter champ. His delicate baby blue, form fitting, shawl shouldered outfit could not have fit Melania, or the occasion any more perfectly.
It was timeless, classy, and well, quite frankly everything that you are not.
Given that her array was overly chic, I'm convinced that you could have never designed something this elegant to begin with.
While you're busy bashing Melania's name, Ralph Lauren is over here getting all the fame.
It would be in our country's best interest if every first lady from here on out refuses to wear your glitzed and glammed dresses. You clearly lack respect for our country, and our leaders. You should feel privileged that you were asked to dress a first lady, but instead you were disgusted. I'm sure that disgust went away as soon as Melania revealed her breathtaking attire that certainly did not have your name all over it.
Your job is to make money, and you do so by designing clothes. If you have the right to pick and choose who you're willing to do your job for, then I suppose since you're nobody special that the rest of us get to do the same. Therefore, don't be surprised when the next time when you're eating at your five star, caviar restaurant, if the chef decides he'd rather not cook food for you.
This isn't about politics, this is about fashion.
The truth is, confident Melania probably could've worn a garbage bag and rocked it. Instead, she opted to attempt to drown herself in garments screaming your name. When you declined the opportunity to dress it, it spoke volumes about yourself and absolutely nothing about her.
Melania then turned to Ralph Lauren, who I can best define as someone who clearly isn't lacking patriotism or a good pastel print. (Or fame either, given that the matching silk gloves that were the perfect accent have the whole nation talking.)
We all know that broke college student me cannot afford your clothes, but if I could you should know that I sure would not be buying them.
