The American Dreamer author's comments come on the
heels of French designer Sophie Theallet's vow last week not to design for
Melania Trump. Sophie, who has dressed the current FLOTUS sent out an email
encouraging fellow designers to do the same.
"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," the email read. "The rhetoric of racism, sexism and xenophobia
unleashed by her husband’s presidential campaign are incompatible with the shared
values we live by. I encourage my fellow designers to do the same."
The fashion designer complimented the future First
Lady, It's all about fashion, not politics when it comes to Tommy Hilfiger. The
style mogul spoke out about his desire to dress upcoming First Lady Melania
Trump. "I think Melania is a very beautiful woman, and I think any
designer should be proud to dress her," the 65-year-old told WWD during
Monday night's Angel Ball in New York City.
"Ivanka [Trump] is equally as beautiful and
smart, although she wears her own clothes. I don't think people should become
political about it." Tommy graciously complimented current First Lady
Michelle Obama and President-elect Donald Trump's wife and oldest daughter on
their style. "Everyone was very happy to dress Michelle [Obama] as well. I
think they look great in the clothes. You're not gonna get much more beautiful
than Ivanka or Melania."
Tommy, whose look was recently seen on Princess
Beatrice at Monday night's event, has also designed countless celebrities
including Olivia Munn, Jessica Alba and Renée Zellweger. The designer also
collaborated with supermodel Gigi Hadid for a capsule collection earlier in the
year.
