US First Lady Melania Trump has become famous for her understated fashion sense, often favoring European designers such as Christian Dior, Valentino and Dolce \u0026 Gabbana.. But designer Herve Pierre Braillard said that the 54-year-old wife of Donald Trump is very picky about the choice of outfits and does not sew things to order, which creates certain difficulties - after all, someone else could have worn the dress before. Daily Mail writes about this.

To create her elegant ensembles, the First Lady collaborates directly with Herve Pierre Braillard, former creative director of Carolina Herrera.

In 2017, Pierre told The New York Times that Melania buys most of her clothes straight off the counter..

When the First Lady of the United States wears items from American designers, she rummages through her own closet for archival items from expensive fashion houses, or Pierre buys her items directly.

While fashion fans waited patiently to see which designer Melania would choose after being shunned by many top designers during her husband's first presidency, she chose her stylist.

Pierre made an elegant strapless dress from white silk crepe with two black stripes on the chest.

Melania accessorized the dress with a diamond brooch designed by Harry Winston in 1955, which she wore as a choker, and white pointed-toe pumps from Manolo Blahnik..

In 2017, Ralph Lauren created a baby blue reversible cashmere dress and coat for the inaugural parade, and then proceeded to design a variety of outfits for the Biden family.

Pierre was paid handsomely for his styling services.
