As the debate goes on about who will dress Melania during the next four years in the White House, it looks like her options are growing.
Although
designers like Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs have said they don't want her
wearing their designs, other designers are chomping at the bit for the
opportunity to dress the First Lady-to-be.
It
is customary of the First Lady to wear an American designer during her
time in Washington, and especially during the inaugural weekend, and
designers like Zac Posen, B Michael America, and Tommy Hilfiger are all
interested.
Jean
Shafiroff, a New York socialite and philanthropist who is friendly with
the Trump family, saw them at the New Year's Eve Mar-a-lago fest, and
told the that Post interest is growing with American and foreign designers.
She
polled the couture council of the museum at New York's Fashion
Institute of Technology to see who wants to dress Melania for her first
weekend in the White House, and for the next four years.
Shafiroff told the post that Zac Posen, B Michael America, Victor de Souza and Zang Toi are all very interested.
The Harlem-based designer B Michael told Shafiroff 'he'd be honored' to work with the soon-to-be first lady.
He said: 'Any designer who dresses her will get enormous press.'
Other
designers, including Diane Von Furstenburg, have said Mrs Trump should
receive the the same treatment as any other First Lady.
Tommy
Hilfiger said 'any designer should be proud' to dress Melania Trump
after another designer ruled out ever working with the incoming First
Lady on political grounds.
Melania is
known to be a fan of Dolce and Gabbana and Gucci, and was spotted
wearing those designers while her husband was on the campaign trail.
One of the heads of Dolce and Gabbana, Stefano Gabbana has very publicly thrown his support behind Melania Trump, reported DailyMail.com.
The
world renowned designer, who has a huge influence in the world of
fashion, posted a photo four days ago of Melania wearing a $3,000 wool
sheath with jewel-encrusted bows from the fashion house.
