Fashion industry eyes Melania Trump as she steps into second term as first lady

As Donald Trump begins his second term, Melania Trump may receive more attention from the fashion industry. Unlike her predecessors, she faced significant rejection from major designers during his first term due to political differences. Previously, brands like Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs publicly refused to dress her. This led Melania to focus on European luxury brands instead of American designers, creating a distinct personal style. Now, there is pressure for Melania to wear more American-made clothing. The fashion industry may also be more inclined to embrace her, reflecting a potential shift in attitudes toward her role as first lady.
