        "articleBody": "After Melania Trump faced major backlash for wearing Manolo Blahnik stilettos while heading to the Hurricane Harvey [flood zone](http://www.teenvogue.com/story/melania-trump-wears-heels-to-hurricane-harvey-relief), the very designer of those shoes is choosing to publicly defend the First Lady. In a statement released to *Harper’s Bazaar UK*,  Manolo Blahnik claimed that he felt the criticism was much too harsh. “I don’t think she’s insensitive. I think she’s working non-stop to make it work — possibly she was just wearing the shoes she left New York in.\" The famed designer stated. \"Yes, I think probably she could have worn Hunter boots but she was wearing what she was wearing.”\n\nIn a highly shared article for [*Vogue*](https://www.vogue.com/article/melania-trump-hurricane-harvey-stilettos) written shortly after the incident Lynn Yaeger wrote, \"While the nation is riveted by images of thousands of Texans wading with their possessions, their pets, their kids, in chest-high water, desperately seeking refuge; while a government official recommended that those who insist on sheltering in place write their names and social security numbers on their arms, Melania Trump is heading to visit them in footwear that is a challenge to walk in on dry land.\"  While many people, especially on Twitter felt similarly to Lynn, Mr. Blahnik feels like the optics of the Trump family shouldn't play a role in what we think of the first lady. In fact, he seems to really like Melania putting her beauty before her politics. \"They should just get rid of everybody and keep her.\" He continues, \"aesthetically I mean, I’m not talking about politics — I don’t give a damn about that and I don’t know much about it. But in terms of fashion and beauty — well, I love her, she’s a beauty and that’s all there is to it.”\n\nDespite the fact that there are dozens of designers that have come out to distance themselves from the Trumps, it looks like Manolo Blahnik will join other brands like [Dolce & Gabbana](http://www.teenvogue.com/story/dolce-and-gabbana-melania-trump-support-backlash) in lavishing them with praise. Melania Trump has yet to address the controversy — or Manolo Blahnik's new statements — but watch this space for updates. \n\n\n__Related:__ [Melania Trump Wore HEELS to a Hurricane Harvey Flood Zone, and People Are Confused](http://www.teenvogue.com/story/melania-trump-wears-heels-to-hurricane-harvey-relief)\n\n__Check this out:__ \n\n[#cneembed: embedjs/557f398061646d4fc4260000/playlist/5862b742fd2e61175400000e.js?autoplay=1&muted=1]|||||i",

I think that maybe some of my decisions could have been better, however, they really informed who I am today. So I think I would tell my 18-year-old self “You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.”\n\n__What’s your favorite *Teen Vogue* moment?__   \nThere was a Lindsay Lohan cover and feature back in 2006 that I was obsessed with. She was wearing this pink and black Marc Jacobs dress with headband and a graffiti background. IT WAS EVERYTHING. I had the images hung all over my room at my parent’s house because I was so obsessed. Fast forward to today where the dress is still in my head. I recently saw it on Ebay and bought it! \n\n__What beauty product are you loving right now?__   \nI really don’t wear all that much makeup, I’m more of a moisturize, lips and go kind of lady. I’m really loving Glossier’s Priming Moisturizer right now because it’s a great hydrator but it also gives you a natural dewy look that lasts!\n\n__What fashion item seems to always be on your shopping list?__  \nBlack booties. I will wear them in any season with anything. I always end up wearing them to death by the end of the year and have to buy new ones. I typically get them from Topshop! \n\n__What’s a goal you have for the rest of this year?__  \nKeeping my apartment clean. It seems really small but I think it’s a catalyst to changing so many other things in your life.

I think that maybe some of my decisions could have been better, however, they really informed who I am today. So I think I would tell my 18-year-old self “You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.”\n\n__What’s your favorite *Teen Vogue* moment?__   \nThere was a Lindsay Lohan cover and feature back in 2006 that I was obsessed with. She was wearing this pink and black Marc Jacobs dress with headband and a graffiti background. IT WAS EVERYTHING. I had the images hung all over my room at my parent’s house because I was so obsessed. Fast forward to today where the dress is still in my head. I recently saw it on Ebay and bought it! \n\n__What beauty product are you loving right now?__   \nI really don’t wear all that much makeup, I’m more of a moisturize, lips and go kind of lady. I’m really loving Glossier’s Priming Moisturizer right now because it’s a great hydrator but it also gives you a natural dewy look that lasts!\n\n__What fashion item seems to always be on your shopping list?__  \nBlack booties. I will wear them in any season with anything. I always end up wearing them to death by the end of the year and have to buy new ones. I typically get them from Topshop! \n\n__What’s a goal you have for the rest of this year?__  \nKeeping my apartment clean. It seems really small but I think it’s a catalyst to changing so many other things in your life. I want to start living my best self and this is part of the process. \n\n__Who’s your favorite model and why?__  \nI really love Ashley Smith. She’s unique in so many ways, from her look to her attitude, I love it when I see her in campaigns. \n\n__What’s your favorite movie quote?__  \nMy favorite movie of all time also has my favorite quote of all time. From *Almost Famous*: “The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you’re uncool.”\n","_embedded":{"photosTout":[{"fields":{"aspectRatios":{"master":{"width":488,"height":480,"format":"PNG","url":"https://us-east.manta.joyent.com/condenast/public/teenvogue-services/production/2015/07/21/55ae7065950ffe746eb43493_Alyssa%20Hardy%201.png","duration":{}},"16:9":{"modifications":{"crop":{"height":270,"width":480,"x":4,"y":0}},"width":480,"height":270,"override":false,"duration":{}},"4:3":{"modifications":{"crop":{"height":366,"width":488,"x":0,"y":0}},"width":488,"height":366,"override":false,"duration":{}},"1:1":{"modifications":{"crop":{"width":374,"height":374,"x":59,"y":105}},"width":374,"height":374,"override":false,"duration":{}},"5:2":{"modifications":{"crop":{"height":194,"width":485,"x":1,"y":0}},"width":485,"height":194,"override":false,"duration":{}},"3:2":{"modifications":{"crop":{"height":324,"width":486,"x":1,"y":0}},"width":486,"height":324,"override":false,"duration":{}},"2:3":{"modifications":{"crop":{"height":480,"width":320,"x":84,"y":0}},"width":320,"height":480,"override":false,"duration":{}}},"revisionCreatedAt":"Jan

First Lady [Melania Trump](http://www.teenvogue.com/tag/melania-trump) capitalized on the success of her husband's M.A.G.A. hat by debuting her own merch. And she decided her recent trip to Texas to visit a tropical storm Harvey floodzone was the perfect time. Melania stepped off Air Force One wearing black pixie pants, a bomber jacket, stiletto heels, and a black baseball cap with the FLOTUS lettering across the front. It didn’t take long for the internet to explode over the look.  \n\nFirst, there was the lively discussion about how appropriate Melania’s choice of shoes was for the occasion but then her hat quickly became a trending topic in its own right. And, let it be known as well that — in both shape and font —\n it seems as though Melania might have turned to the distributor of her husband’s “Make America Great Again” caps for this original creation.  Twitter users first had a field day joking that the President might have needed a refresher on her title, asking her to wear a hat that states her name, lest he forget she’s FLOTUS.

While several designers expressed they don't want to dress her because of her politics, she still manages to show up to every event and appearance wearing something high-end (including an unfortunate recent [photo op](http://www.teenvogue.com/story/melania-trump-wears-heels-to-hurricane-harvey-relief) of her wearing high heels on her way to the disaster area in Texas). This is why many of her conservative fans felt she was slighted when *Vanity Fair* decided not to include her in their annual [best-dressed list](https://www.vanityfair.com/international-best-dressed-list). The list included several other political figures including first ladies like Brigette Macron and Michelle Obama, as well as celebrities like Solange and Rihanna.\n\n\"Gee, there goes VF's declining circulation. Melania Trump would make anything look fabulous,\" one person wrote.\"Melania is the best-dressed First Lady ever. Vanity Fair is a joke,\" said another. In the past, *Vanity Fair* has received much criticism from Donald Trump himself, including a tweet about their scathing review of his restaurant. The *Vanity Fair* team turned Donald's post into an ad for their magazine, and subscriptions skyrocketed. In fact, *Vanity Fair* editor-in-chief Graydon Carter, who announced [he's leaving the title today](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/07/business/media/graydon-carter-vanity-fair.html) after a 25-year run, revealed that he frames each of Donald's tweets about him and hangs them on a wall outside of his office. “He’s tweeted about me 42 times, all in the negative. So, I blew up all the tweets and I framed them all. They’re all on a wall — this is the only wall Trump’s built — outside my office,\" he explained. \"There’s a space left for one more tweet to complete the bottom line. So if he does [tweet], I’m just going to call our framer, and say we need one more.”\n\nWith Melania missing from the best-dressed list, perhaps it's safe to anticipate that another angry Donald Trump tweet is coming.

I think that maybe some of my decisions could have been better, however, they really informed who I am today. So I think I would tell my 18-year-old self “You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.”\n\n__What’s your favorite *Teen Vogue* moment?__   \nThere was a Lindsay Lohan cover and feature back in 2006 that I was obsessed with. She was wearing this pink and black Marc Jacobs dress with headband and a graffiti background. IT WAS EVERYTHING. I had the images hung all over my room at my parent’s house because I was so obsessed. Fast forward to today where the dress is still in my head. I recently saw it on Ebay and bought it! \n\n__What beauty product are you loving right now?__   \nI really don’t wear all that much makeup, I’m more of a moisturize, lips and go kind of lady. I’m really loving Glossier’s Priming Moisturizer right now because it’s a great hydrator but it also gives you a natural dewy look that lasts!\n\n__What fashion item seems to always be on your shopping list?__  \nBlack booties. I will wear them in any season with anything. I always end up wearing them to death by the end of the year and have to buy new ones. I typically get them from Topshop! \n\n__What’s a goal you have for the rest of this year?__  \nKeeping my apartment clean. It seems really small but I think it’s a catalyst to changing so many other things in your life. I want to start living my best self and this is part of the process. \n\n__Who’s your favorite model and why?__  \nI really love Ashley Smith.

I think that maybe some of my decisions could have been better, however, they really informed who I am today. So I think I would tell my 18-year-old self “You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.”\n\n__What’s your favorite *Teen Vogue* moment?__   \nThere was a Lindsay Lohan cover and feature back in 2006 that I was obsessed with. She was wearing this pink and black Marc Jacobs dress with headband and a graffiti background. IT WAS EVERYTHING. I had the images hung all over my room at my parent’s house because I was so obsessed. Fast forward to today where the dress is still in my head. I recently saw it on Ebay and bought it! \n\n__What beauty product are you loving right now?__   \nI really don’t wear all that much makeup, I’m more of a moisturize, lips and go kind of lady. I’m really loving Glossier’s Priming Moisturizer right now because it’s a great hydrator but it also gives you a natural dewy look that lasts!\n\n__What fashion item seems to always be on your shopping list?__  \nBlack booties. I will wear them in any season with anything. I always end up wearing them to death by the end of the year and have to buy new ones. I typically get them from Topshop! \n\n__What’s a goal you have for the rest of this year?__  \nKeeping my apartment clean. It seems really small but I think it’s a catalyst to changing so many other things in your life. I want to start living my best self and this is part of the process. \n\n__Who’s your favorite model and why?__  \nI really love Ashley Smith. She’s unique in so many ways, from her look to her attitude, I love it when I see her in campaigns. \n\n__What’s your favorite movie quote?__  \nMy favorite movie of all time also has my favorite quote of all time.

What [many quickly realized](http://people.com/politics/twitter-jeers-melania-wears-italian-dress-trumps-labor-day-post/), though, was that the $2,255 dress Melania was wearing in the photo wasn't totally in line with the \"made in the USA\" ethos, seeing as it was made in Italy by a Greek designer.\n\nThe president's tweet read: \"We are building our future with American hands, American labor, American iron, aluminum and steel. Happy #LaborDay!\" The image also plugged the president's social media accounts. Yet Twitter users pointed out the messaging mismatch between FLOTUS's attire in the photo and the president's statement. It was another fashion snafu in a week where [Melania was already criticized for wearing stilettos while boarding Air Force One](http://www.teenvogue.com/story/melania-trump-used-her-tropical-storm-harvey-trip-to-debut-flotus-merch) to view the destruction caused by [Hurricane Harvey in Houston](http://www.teenvogue.com/story/melania-trump-wears-heels-to-hurricane-harvey-relief) firsthand (she later changed into sneakers to meet with victims).\n\nIt's worth noting that Trump and his team likely chose a random photo of the first couple for the Labor Day post; the picture is actually from a picnic in June, so it's not like Melania *chose* a foreign designer specifically for Labor Day. And hey, maybe she couldn't even find a [domestic designer](http://www.teenvogue.com/gallery/melania-trump-inauguration-gown-designers-refuse-to-dress-her); fashion houses keep [refusing to dress her](http://www.teenvogue.com/gallery/tom-ford-marc-jacobs-wont-dress-melania-trump-sophie-theallet), so as to not align themselves with the White House's bigoted policies.\n\nBut it's also worth noting that beyond Melania's penchant for foreign fashions and glamorous photo ops, the Trumps's pre–White House business model was heavily dependent on foreign labor. Ivanka Trump's products are not [made in America](http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/ivanka-trump-products-not-made-america/#.Wa2EDKnSPuA.twitter), and the Donald J.

In a statement released to *Harper’s Bazaar UK*,  Manolo Blahnik claimed that he felt the criticism was much too harsh. “I don’t think she’s insensitive. I think she’s working non-stop to make it work — possibly she was just wearing the shoes she left New York in.\" The famed designer stated. \"Yes, I think probably she could have worn Hunter boots but she was wearing what she was wearing.”\n\nIn a highly shared article for [*Vogue*](https://www.vogue.com/article/melania-trump-hurricane-harvey-stilettos) written shortly after the incident Lynn Yaeger wrote, \"While the nation is riveted by images of thousands of Texans wading with their possessions, their pets, their kids, in chest-high water, desperately seeking refuge; while a government official recommended that those who insist on sheltering in place write their names and social security numbers on their arms, Melania Trump is heading to visit them in footwear that is a challenge to walk in on dry land.\"  While many people, especially on Twitter felt similarly to Lynn, Mr. Blahnik feels like the optics of the Trump family shouldn't play a role in what we think of the first lady. In fact, he seems to really like Melania putting her beauty before her politics. \"They should just get rid of everybody and keep her.\" He continues, \"aesthetically I mean, I’m not talking about politics — I don’t give a damn about that and I don’t know much about it. But in terms of fashion and beauty — well, I love her, she’s a beauty and that’s all there is to it.”\n\nDespite the fact that there are dozens of designers that have come out to distance themselves from the Trumps, it looks like Manolo Blahnik will join other brands like [Dolce & Gabbana](http://www.teenvogue.com/story/dolce-and-gabbana-melania-trump-support-backlash) in lavishing them with praise. Melania Trump has yet to address the controversy — or Manolo Blahnik's new statements — but watch this space for updates. \n\n\n__Related:__ [Melania Trump Wore HEELS to a Hurricane Harvey Flood Zone,
