Melania Trump's powerful message when wearing her coat as a cape
We analyze the reasons why the first lady never wears the sleeves of her coats. What message does Melania want to send to the world with this gesture so common in fashion?
If you like fashion, surely the trend of wearing 'off shoulders' coats is not unknown to you. It consists of putting on the coats as if they were capes, a common chic gesture among fashionistas that in 2016 'Vogue' renamed when talking about look 8 of the Demna Gvasalia show, which consisted of an anorak designed specifically to be worn as if it were a cape . "The contrast of wearing a normal outer garment as if it were an exotic coat was a really modern twist and the time when the art of shrobing was born," the post wrote.
In fact, shrobing is a media art when teamed up with Meghan Markle, who attended the Commonwealth Youth Forum reception clad in a striped Altuzarra dress, which she paired with a Camilla and Marc blazer over her shoulders. When Meghan does it, the Duchess becomes a fashion icon, but when it is Melania who sets the trend in motion, social media is quick to criticize her. "Does he think he is Batman?" It is one of the usual jokes that accompany her public appearances.
What is the message of her cape coats?
This weekend, Melania was visiting Ohio dressed in a Michael Kors skirt, Saint Laurent shirt and Kors shoulder jacket. The Melania formula was repeated once again, but why does she never wear the coats on a regular basis? One of the few times that Melania used the sleeves of her jacket in a normal way hers was precisely when she wore the infamous Zara parka that made her one of the most hated women on the planet. She maybe she did it because then her jacket was already in charge of sending the message that she had in mind and she showed that, when that moment came, she really didn't care.
Putting on the 'off shoulders' coats is neither easy nor comfortable. It is a trend that limits movement and exempts the wearer from being able to make any effort. She indicates that the wearer of the coat is someone who does not ride the subway - it is impossible to hold onto the bar without the coat falling off or someone giving you a push and your Delpozo coat does not end up on the ground. By the way, we are aware that if we had a Delpozo, we would not go by metro, but rather someone who they take everywhere. Anna Wintour wears her coats in this way and abandons the cars in which they take her to the parades showing off her shrobing, showing that her mission those days is to sit and watch the parades without having to move her arms. Ah, a side note now that we talk about fashion weeks. After publishing an article in 2012 in 'The Guardian' in which he talked about the art of 'shoulder-robing', 'BuzzFeed' explained that, in September, fashionistas want to show off their new coats, but as during that month the temperatures are still high They put them on their shoulders to show them off.
Melania presents the image of a woman who is distant and incapable of undertaking any task, especially since she does not really need to do it. Especially notable were the photos of her in which she supposedly adorned her Christmas tree with the 3,000 Euro Calvin Klein coat draped over her shoulders. To begin with, don't the Trumps pay the gas bill and have to walk around the house with a coat? To continue, she tries to put the shooting star on the tree with a coat as a cape and tell us where the coat ends.
Another noteworthy occasion was when she uploaded a photograph of her to her networks in which Melania wore a pink coat so that she seemed to have different arms because she had not put it on, again, correctly. The lights in the image and the way she put on her coat made her a real alien.
Wearing the coat as a cape, however, worked to her advantage as she prepared to board her private plane with her husband to fly to Ohio. When Donald Trump tried to shake his hand, he found an empty sleeve, so on that occasion his 'off shoulders' coat helped him not to shake his husband's hand, avoiding that public rejection that he has not hesitated to do in more of an occasion. Is this way of wearing her jackets her anti-Trump armor?
