President Donald Trump recently lent his support to Louis Vuitton, but an artistic director for the luxury brand isn’t reciprocating the gesture.
Days after Trump and his daughter Ivanka Trump attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of a new Louis Vuitton workshop in Texas, Nicolas Ghesquière slammed the president on social media, specifically pointing to Trump’s lack of support for LGBTQ rights.
“Standing against any political action. I am a fashion designer refusing this association,” Ghesquière, the artistic director of women’s collections at the famed fashion house, wrote on Instagram.
“Trump is a joke,” he added in a hashtag alongside another that simply read “homophobia.”
The LVMH group, which owns the brand, has not publicly commented on Ghesquière’s stance. But he has received support from colleague Camille Miceli, the creative director for accessories, who responded with a trio of applause and heart emojis.
Ivanka Trump and Serena Williams's husband, Alexis Ohanian, met on Tuesday at the White House to discuss an issue close to the Reddit co-founder's heart: paid family leave.
According to Bloomberg, they met during Ohanian's visit to D.C., where he was lobbying for federal legislation that would provide additional paid leave to mothers and fathers after the birth of a child. Ohanian has been outspoken about paid family leave, and has said that he became passionate about the issue after the 2017 birth of his and Williams's daughter, Alexis Olympia.
"I applaud Mr. Ohanian’s advocacy for Paid Family Leave, for both mothers and fathers, an issue that has been of utmost importance to me and this administration," Ivanka said in a statement to Bloomberg. "Working families across the Country need Paid Family Leave and we’ve developed strong bipartisan support and momentum in Congress on this issue over the past three years."
You're only as young as you... look in your last Instagram selfie. At least that's what Ivanka Trump seems to think, after marking her 38th birthday on Wednesday by showing off her wrinkle-free complexion in a makeup-free, pouty-faced snap - while noting that she feels '38 years young'.
The first daughter shared the candid photo with her followers first thing in the morning, writing alongside it: 'Hugs, kisses and lots of birthday wishes,' before adding a kissing-face emoji and the hashtage #38yearsyoung.
In the slightly blurred photo, Ivanka can be seen showing off a very smooth complexion that appears to be makeup-free; in a break from the glamorous outfits she has been modeling recently, the mother-of-three appears to be wearing a black workout top.
Ivanka Trump was the belle of the ball on Thursday night, when she attended a dinner at the royal palace in Rabat alongside her host, Princess Lalla Meryem of Morocco.
The first daughter looked radiant as she arrived at the royal residence in a floor-length gold caftan-style gown that is thought to have been created by local designer Fadila El Gadi, who has created all of Ivanka's looks during the trip.
Mother-of-three Ivanka looked right at home in her ornate surroundings in the dazzling design - her third outfit of the day - which she paired with some simple nude heels, ensuring all focus remained on the beaded dress.
Ivanka Trump was mocked after tweeting out a false quote that was critical of impeachment, claiming it was written by the famed political thinker Alexis de Tocqueville.
Journalists and historians scrambled to locate the words Ivanka used to defend her father in Tocqueville's works, but were left scratching their heads when no matching quotes were found.
It was then established that the words Ivanka claimed to be from de Tocqueville, who published the influential book Democracy in America in 1835, in fact came from a book written by John Innes Clark Hare nearly a century later.
In his book, Hare was summarizing de Tocqueville's views when he opposed the unsuccessful impeachment attempt of Andrew Johnson, the 17th President of the United States.
"It was long since remarked by de Tocqueville that a decline of public morals in the United States will probably be marked by the abuse of the power of impeachment as a means of crushing political adversaries or ejecting them from office,"
