Melania’s Role in Curating Her Wardrobe
Interestingly, Melania Trump doesn’t always depend on custom-made pieces. Instead, she often opts for off-the-rack selections from upscale stores like Saks and Bergdorf Goodman. Pierre has mentioned that Melania frequently chooses items herself from American designers. When he shops for her, he does so discreetly, ensuring that the garments he purchases haven’t been seen on a red carpet before. He acknowledges that this process can be challenging, particularly given the industry’s hesitancy to embrace Melania’s public image. Moreover, Pierre tries to avoid certain high-profile pieces to ensure that Melania stands out with her unique style and doesn’t end up in comparisons on “Who Wore It Better” lists.
While Melania’s fashion taste is often lauded for its elegance, Pierre reveals that dressing the First Lady entails carefully navigating the balance between public perception and high fashion, as some designers are less eager to be in the limelight that comes with working with her.
