Melania Trump, new fashion icon
Sold out the white dress that the former model and wife of the Republican candidate wore at the Cleveland conference
Melania Trump begins to create trends. The wife of the Republican candidate for the White House debuted at the party convention in a white suit that in just a few hours has been sold out. The model chose it herself without the help of any stylist. She acquired it on the Net-a-porter portal, as explained by a spokesman for the Republican campaign. The suit, the Margot model from Roksanda, costs $ 1,500 (about 1,360 euros). Roksanda Ilincic is the designer of Serbian origin behind the Roksanda label.
46-year-old Melania is the antithesis of the tycoon when it comes to personality: she is extraordinarily discreet, always maintains a calm tone and avoids being involved in controversy at all costs. She married Donald Trump 11 years ago and in this time she has stayed as far away from the spotlight as possible, giving the spotlight to Ivanka, daughter of the billionaire's first marriage and one of his main advisers.
Melania Knauss grew up in a modest apartment in a town near Sevnica (Slovenia), which was then part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (RFSY), dissolved in 1992 after the Balkan War.
After starting her modeling career in Milan and Paris, she moved to New York in 1996. Five years later she obtained permanent residency and in 2006, she became an American.
Melania is extremely careful when discussing her married life with Trump, whom she met at a New York Fashion Week party in 1998. "We are both very independent. I let him be who he is and he me. let me be who I am. I'm not trying to change him, he's an adult. He knows the consequences. I give him my opinion many, many times, "he explained in February in an interview with CNN, in which he confessed that he does not like the harsh tone that uses her husband.
If Trump wins, Melania would not be the first former model to enter the White House, Pat Nixon and Betty Ford were also.
