The former model also chose New York-based designer Eric Javits for her Americanm made outfit.
The American-made outfit was a change of pace for Trump, who routinely wears European designers. Her stylist Herve Pierre orchestrated the top-secret projects with each of the independent U.S.-based designers. The 54-year-old former model and Pierre first teamed up eight years ago and have continued to work together.
Lippes could not be reached immediately Monday morning to comment, and Javits did not respond immediately to a text seeking his reaction.For inauguration day, Lippes designed Melania Trump’s tailored navy silk wool coat, coordinating pencil skirt and an ivory silk crepe blouse that were all handsewn in New York City. The independent designer is known for his refined and understated sensibility, and borrows from art, architecture and design.
While thousands shivered in the chill in Washington, D.C., Lippes knows how to suit up people against frigid winters, having grown up in Buffalo. But extra layers were not needed for FLOTUS, since the swearing-in ceremony was moved indoors to the U.S. Capitol’s Rotunda. The last time that happened was in 1985 for Ronald Reagan’s first inauguration. It’s also been awhile since a first lady has sported a hat to watch her husband take the presidential oath.
