Melania Trump's inaugural hat may have sent quite a message, but that doesn't necessarily mean she's ushering in a fashion era in which she'll “make hats great again,” according to White House and style experts. It is said that it is not.
Kate Bennett, author of the 2019 film “Free, Melania,” said Tuesday of Trump's now-famous hat designed by Eric Javits: “The silhouette, the sharpness, the austere beauty of this hat. “We felt it was a great fit for business.” The first lady played sports on Inauguration Day.
This dramatic accessory quickly became the focus of countless Carmen Sandiego and McDonald's hamburger memes, internet searches, and online chatter, but “I'm not the same person I was when I first got here.” Bennett said that message was given.
Bennett, a former CNN White House correspondent and current vice president of a lobbying firm, said: “It sounds deep and I may be overthinking it, but this woman is definitely more than any other first lady that I can think of.'' She is a woman who communicates through her clothes.” Unchanged.
Bennett said the bell-sleeved dress worn by President Trump at the 2016 Republican National Convention sold out quickly online, although it disappeared from stores almost instantly after wearing a few styles. He said he didn't expect Washington to suddenly be flooded with fedoras. , fascinators, etc.
“Especially today, everything is guided by party, affiliation, faction. So for those who want to emulate and support the first lady and enjoy her style, it certainly has the potential to be a trendsetter. Yes,” said Bennett, a former fashion figure. editor.
“But multiple people texted me this morning and said, 'I've decided to hang up all my Eric Javits hats.' They're clearly people who don't support Trump's presidency. It was.”
“Where a hat is needed, a hat will appear,'' Bennett said, adding, “I don't want it to be like Mamie Eisenhower's “Mamie Pink'' or Jackie Kennedy's pillbox, which all American women imitated. I don't see that happening right now, but I think it was definitely a statement.”
Bennett pointed out that Trump, a former model, is not a “loquacious person” or a “loquacious person.”
“She's private. She doesn't necessarily share information openly. And I don't think she's ever been like that,” Bennett said.
“But I think after being with Donald Trump for 20 years, she doesn't have a lot of space to talk. So I think she's learned a different way of communicating and she's doing it through clothes. .”
