I keep saying that I love the fact that Tom Ford has a movie out right now because I love Tom Ford’s interviews. It will never stop being true! Tom Ford is a wonderful interview subject. For someone so posh, wealthy, artistic and elite, he doesn’t seem to mind doing interviews with outlets and TV shows that some might consider “beneath” him. For example, he appeared on The View yesterday. Think about that! TOM FORD. On The View. It was actually amazing. You know why? Because he’s a gossipy bitch and he loves to chat. I love him. So what was he gossiping about? He was asked point-blank if he would dress First Lady Melania Trump. And Tom threw shade. Because why not?

On the idea of dressing Melania: “I was asked to dress her quite a few years ago and I declined… She’s not necessarily my image.”

Why he doesn’t dress many politicos or political spouses: “The first lady — other than the fact that I’m a Democrat and voted for Hillary [Clinton] and am very sad and disappointed that she’s not in office — even had Hillary won, she shouldn’t be wearing my clothes. They’re too expensive. And I don’t mean this in a bad way… [She needs] to relate to everybody.”

He dressed Michelle Obama once, for a dinner at Buckingham Palace: “I thought that was appropriate and I was honored. I live in London, and so that made sense.”

Whether Melania should wear designer clothes as FLOTUS: “I’m gonna leave that to Melania.”

I’m including the video below, which is completely amazing. As we discussed last week, there will be some designers who flat-out refuse to dress Melania, and I’m guessing Tom Ford will continue his Trump-boycott even when Pres. Trump is in office. But what I like about what he said is that he was throwing shade YEARS ago. Like, he never thought Donald Trump’s trophy wife was good enough to wear his clothes. Never!!! And his opinion hasn’t changed.
