As a number of designers and stylists come forward about whether or not they’d dress Melania Trump, Donald Trump is making one thing clear: His wife, Melania Trump, never asked Tom Ford to dress her.
“[She] never asked Tom Ford, doesn’t like Tom Ford. Doesn’t like his designs. He was never asked to dress [Melania],” the president-elect stated while speaking with Fox & Friends‘ Ainsley Earhardt on Wednesday.

“I’m not a fan of Tom Ford, never have been,” said Trump, adding that hotelier Steve Wynn called him up after Ford’s comments to say he “threw his clothes out of his hotel.”
While appearing on The View last year, Ford shared that he was asked to dress the First Lady-elect a few years ago, but declined.
“She’s not necessarily my image,” said the designer, who also identified himself as a Democrat who voted for Hillary Clinton. He added, “Even had Hillary won, she shouldn’t be wearing my clothes. They’re too expensive. And I don’t mean that in a bad way — they’re not artificially expensive, it’s the cost to make these things.”
