Melania outdoes Hillary and Michelle combined

[Monkeyleg]

The floral jacket that Melania Trump wore in Catania Italy the other day cost $51,500. I think that has to be three to four times the cost of anything that Hillary or Michelle worse.

And it was created by a famous Italian designer who refuses to be coerced into boycotting Melania.

So you're saying if he created that jacket for anyone else it would have cost maybe $5,000 but, because Melania wore it, he had to bump the price by a factor of ten to make up for all the other customers clients he'll lose for selling to "that woman."

Yeah, except unlike Hilary or Michelle, Melania was a fashion model who probably worked for that famous Italian designer and has oodles of couture fashion in her closet, some of which she probably never paid full price for.

When it comes to high fashion, she has her own connections that have nothing to do with Trump or politics.

Maybe. Or maybe she actually paid for it. Or he gave it to her for the publicity. I'M sure we'll never know.

Hawkmoon, that's not what I meant. I'm reading my post several times to see if it can be read that way.

As for the jacket, I don't like it, although it's better than Hiilary's drapery fabric pant suits.

*shrug* couture is one of a kind. No matter how she got it, it's going to be worth a lot of money. I don't think a designer of high fashion is too worried about maintaining clientele. At that level, you go begging the designer, the designer does not come begging to you.

With the third-grade mentality of today's media snots, it's politics if you have a wart on your left butt cheek and your name is Trump.

That reminds me:  Has anyone ever reported on exactly what medical stuff Hilary was hiding under that outfit?  (Assuming it actually was medical stuff)

True, but given that so many of the people who can afford to go begging haut couture designers to create something for them are unrepentant libtards, being willing to sell a design to Melania TRUMP!!!! is almost certainly going to make a dent in the guy's waiting list. So ... good for him, for thumbing his nose at the libtards.

I'm betting there are less of those liberals than you think... Or at least not "liberals" that would let politics get in the way of FASHION.

I mean seriously, these are people who pay a lot more for a little jacket than I make in a year. Reason and sacrifice are not exactly their strong suit, unless the suit is silk and has appeared on a runway during Paris Fashion Week.

it wasn't a medical device, it was a really large puppet master ( Heinlein )

I recall Melania being criticized for buying clothing off the rack. I don't know if she wore any of those on this trip, though.

I'm pretty sure that no matter what she wears, someone is going to make a stink. She can't win for trying anyway, so she may as well wear whatever she likes.

Yup.

Somehow Hillary and Michelle are fashion icons, and the fashion model is some kind of a low brow clothes slut that insults the poor. That's how you get Trump.

I can't remember what was said about Laura Bush, who as I recall, dressed conservatively.
