Ivanka Trump's coat

AutumnalLeafs · 02/02/2017 17:45

Can anyone identify this coat please? Bet it is uber-expensive. (I felt sorry for her having to walk across grass in those super spikey hells trotting alongside the mighty stride of the Donald)

I wonder where Imelda Marcos got her shoes.

Just when you think MN couldn't become any odder along comes this threadShock.

Some posters have an over inflated view of their own self importance and just can't resist the temptation to dictate to others irrespective of the topic under discussion.

Heaven forfend, OP, you are clearly unaware that the liking, purchasing and wearing of an item of clothing showcased by someone else will not only mean you politically support that person or their father but it will immediately imbibe you with the views and behaviours of said father. Be careful out there OP.

Quite RedDogsBeg.

Even more than that a mere enquiry as to who made the said item of clothing amounts to holding the wearer's father's political views in "esteem" and according them "respect" and "celebrating them".

Indeed OP, WTAF sums it up perfectlyGrin.

Mezzanineobssessed · 03/02/2017 17:29

Sorry OP. You might be a reasonable person. But every sign of every Trump fills me with bubbling stuff that blinds me badly whichever section of mumsnet has the thread. Wink

AutumnalLeafs · 03/02/2017 17:50

Sorry OP. You might be a reasonable person.

Oh might I just? Well thank you and your patronizing kindness from your lowly serf for according her that mere modicum of speculative courtesy.

Might be a reasonable person!

With the Trumps on any scene, there is this general blackishness that descends on everything and everyone who doesn't feel instantly repulsed by them immediately.
and it doesn't help that you are sending business their way. Now please don't make me translate how.

RedDogsBeg · 03/02/2017 18:01

Perhaps you should get help with that affliction Mezzanine, it must be terribly wearing.

Someone who posts this:

expects to be taken seriously?

LittleBearPad · 03/02/2017 18:08

How is the OP sending them business?

Ivanka Trump didn't make the coat, It was designed and sold by a French fashion designer called Joseph Altuzarra.

Now it is possible that designers may give her clothes to wear for free for publicity purposes but otherwise I cannot see how the Trump family are gaining business from the OP liking a coat she wore.

AutumnalLeafs · 03/02/2017 18:09

and it doesn't help that you are sending business their way

Strangely enough I did not ask my question about the designer of a particular garment either to help you or to send business the way of the Trumps. I just wanted to know who designed a coat that I really liked the look of.

I really don't care how you feel about Trump at all. But I do think it is really bizarre that people can be bothered to bang on about this on a thread about A COAT DESIGNER.

If Trump upsets you that much, why on earth would you click on a thread titled Ivanka Trump's Coat??!??!?! Just move along.

As I said earlier, repeatedly posting on this thread just brings it back up to the top and probably means more people will read it!!! You are self-defeating the very issue you are complaining about in your post.

There is no logic in this at all. Ooooh Donald Trump drinks milk. I must stop drinking milk. Ooooh Donald Trump wears a red tie. I must get my DH to stop wearing a red tie.

I have to be honest "WTAF " was what I was thinking too.

It's a coat. Try to get some Tiny bit of perspective. It will help your credibility. 😏

Mezzanineobssessed · 03/02/2017 18:31

It's not "possible". It's what actually happens. It's called marketing. Why does it not make sense?
And if a coat and milk have this kind of equivalence in your mind op, you really need to get your priorities right. My posting will at least highlight what is wrong with giving a Trump space in the title of your thread.

RedDogsBeg · 03/02/2017 18:42

It is you who need to get your priorities right Mezzanine and no your posting does not highlight what is wrong with giving a Trump space in the thread title.

You have a very skewed perspective and logic.

TSSDNCOP · 03/02/2017 18:44

Ivanka really does know how to put an outfit together.

The Eva Braun comment made me laugh out loud. Really?!

Mezzanineobssessed · 03/02/2017 18:57

RedDogsBeg
I am doing my bit by trying to highlight its wrong to give them publicity of any kind even if it's a coat she is wearing.
if people follow her dressing, it gives them what they want, no matter how indirectly.
You are clearly avoiding to talk about this and using empty rhetoric.

Sweets101 · 03/02/2017 19:20

wouldn't care whether it was being worn by Katie Price, Nigel Farage or the corpse of Lenin

😂

Love the dress OP

RedDogsBeg · 03/02/2017 20:49

Avoiding talking, empty rhetoric, doing your bit - what on earth are you on about Mezzanine? You have an unhealthy obsession not only with all things Trump but also with enforcing how everyone else should react and interact.

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 03/02/2017 20:54

This is bizarre.

I think Ivanka Trump looks good and dresses well. I'm also perfectly capable to separate this from my loathing of her father's policies.

GreatScot8 · 03/02/2017 20:58

Ivanka Trump is not her father... Hmm

A lot of people have deplorable parents, but that doesn't mean that their children ought to be tarred with the same brush.

Mezzanineobssessed · 03/02/2017 21:16

RedDog
I am all for praising a dress everyone. Kate Middleton wears a dress and it's all sold in no time. Of course it works both ways: Kate gets amazing styles some of which are even probably made keeping her in mind and the designers get the publicity. so why is it hard to understand that it works exactly the same way for Ivanka? If she wears this coat and you like it and go in and buy it, you are putting a stamp on a woman who is effectively the First Lady to Trump who is doing all sorts of abhorrent things against women.
Whoever brought up Eva Braun so casually forgot

  1. how it was far harder for her to become a fashion icon and
  2. Hitler did kill millions but it will be nothing compared to what Trump can do with a flick of a finger apparently.

Stakes are so so much different now.
Please do not put any kind thing that could favour these monsters in any way no matter how small it seems. They have become icons of idiocy, bigotry and hatred already, not to mention utter sexism and misogyny.
Please Don't add fashion into that list. Sad

Mezzanineobssessed · 03/02/2017 21:17

Put = put up

GreatScot8 · 03/02/2017 21:22

Hitler did kill millions but it will be nothing compared to what Trump can do with a flick of a finger apparently.

All I'm seeing here is, "Yeah, Hitler killed millions but so what?"

Trump hasn't done anything. Until he DOES become directly responsible for the deaths of millions, I'd suggest you pull your head out of your ass.

If that's what you got from my post, I think your better get both your head and eye sight checked.

Mezzanineobssessed · 03/02/2017 21:48

In fact, a twitter hashtag #dresslikeawoman is trending right now. Apparently, Mr Trump if very particular about how his female staff needs to look in terms of dressing.
Considering his history, public is finding it creepy hence the hashtag.
I am sure a man like him will be very happy to see Ivanka's dress choices approved publicly.
Do you really think he deserves this satisfaction?
