Melania Trump will set style
Since she met Donald Trump and until she married him in a Dior dress full of glitter and excess, but very fair clothes (in sight she left half of her then more than generous bust), Melania Trump has changed a lot . She first renounced her surname, Knauss, and then, little by little, the lightness of clothing with which she conquered the best goals when she began her modeling career at only 16 years old. Pulling the newspaper library she discovers an explosive woman who worked in Milan and Paris, and she arrived with that style in New York in 1996 to appear on the covers of magazines such as Harper's Bazaar, GQ or Vanity Fair Italia. And even in Vogue, yes, after her wedding in 2005 with the current president-elect of the United States.
Provocative, darker and to an ordinary point, completely different from the elegant Melania dressed in the best brands that has been the kindest face of the campaign with which her husband has broken all forecasts, she began to soften her image from the 2006. Just when her son, whom she calls Little Donald, was born, excessive necklines began to disappear from her closet, she controlled her cuddles for the camera and no longer opted for the transparencies with which she had exalted her body during all the previous decade. Thus, an appropriate personal style emerged with the role that she now has to play, that of first lady.
But the best of the stylistic repertoire of this native-born Slovenian who is fluent in English, German, French and Italian, as well as Slovenian and Serbo-Croatian, has now arrived. During the recent campaign, in which Melania Trump (46, 24 years younger than her husband!) She has practically embroidered the part of her that she touched him. There is no doubt that she will become a style icon like Jackie Kennedy or the outgoing Michelle Obama, since it is no longer news that the dresses she selects sell out within minutes in stores. But that does not mean that she also has imposing slips. The most serious? October 10 arrived. Remember the fuchsia pink shirt she wore with a bow tied around her neck? It was from Gucci and it costs about 1,000 euros. The problem was not the price or the brand, but that shirt model is called the pussy bow (something like a cat's bow) because it is a replica of the blouses that became popular in the 70s among the most demanding women. Those who began to occupy exclusively male jobs until then. And Melania made that choice just the day after her husband had to give explanations for the recordings in which using that same term, pussy, denigrated the condition of the woman.
She, moreover, has handled power dressing like no one else, the fashion trend that wants to empower women. It is in this line that white, the color used by the first suffragettes, has dominated her wardrobe and also the choice of certain designers at key moments such as Roksanda Ilinci, a Serbian based in London. Some understand it as her personal way of expressing her position on the issue of immigration.
