Fashion designer refuses to dress Melania Trump
As near as I can tell, Mrs Trump never approached her for any "Fashion" assistance or clothes. Her claim to fame is she provided some dresses etc to Michelle Obama.
Mrs. Trump has enough fashion sense to select her own clothing and accessories without the need to patronize a little know French designer.
(Yes I know this has nothing to do with Objectivism or Ayn Rand. I just thought it was funny that she was turning down something she had not even been considered for.)

And those people call US "imperialist"... and expect the world not to see the contradiction?
Oh, well, dressing up such a sweet person as Melania shall provide a wonderful opportunity for someone far more deserving.
And a mind-blower for the Secret Service!
Bet Walmart's share price for stock would go up a tad, though.
(a) "As one who celebrates and strives for diversity, individual freedom, and respect for all lifestyles, I will not participate in dressing or associating in any way with the next First Lady,”
Sounds like she only respects lifestyles of her own choosing - which is FAR from "all".
Of course, it is bolstered by the imperial "we"...
(b) “The rhetoric of racism, sexism, and xenophobia unleashed by her husband’s presidential campaign are incompatible with the shared values we live by.”
My guess is this is a publicity ploy to bolster her design business amongst the lefties. It seems to me that, up until now, Melania has done quite well in the designer clothes department without having this twit dress her, so I can't see why this is even an issue.
Especially since this dressmaker was relatively unknown prior to the Obama's hiring her...
My granddaddy would have said "She seems a bit big for her britches"... I would tend to agree.
She can get a job as a spokesperson for J.Crew.
beliefs, then you must support, indeed praise, the right of a designer to not work for someone who's views they see as contrary to their beliefs. You cannot separate them. I believe Objectivists should uphold the constitution and the rule of law. Therefore, if this woman is a professional designer, she has no right to refuse service to the First Lady. She should do the work professionally. Her personal beliefs should no enter into it.
