(12,646 posts)The off the floor rack stuff, not the "designer area" specialty clothes. Not a big fan of either.
Much of the Trump design also looks like work-out/after work-out styles I saw the mob wives wear as "day wear" in the Sopranos.
Just saying.
BTW, have you seen some of the Melissa McCarthy "big ladies" clothes line? Very nice professional and "casual dinner" designs for us larger ladies that aren't based on simple shifts, caftans, tee-shirts, or boyfriend shirts.

(14,624 posts)I don't doubt that she and her team designed them.
But she most have stolen the design of the other two shoes . . . they aren't completely hideous.
HILARIOUS that even Wally World has to put them on sale to get rid of them!

(5,611 posts)But this stuff is just awful. The giant, clunky wedges are hideous, and some of those pumps look like extremely low knock-offs of Louboutins. The pumps look like they'd rip your heels and toes to shreds b/c cheap leather, poor shaping, and no give. Ugh.
Why isn't Trump's loyal "silent majority" buying these I wonder?!

(10,749 posts)As in, I'm saying it.
The daughter's products appear to be crap, poor white trash's view of what fashionable people wear.
And, yet, I've read that her sales are in the 9 figures.
Here's the "some people are saying" comment: I wonder whether this business, and the hundreds/thousands of others that the idiot father has, are some form of money laundering. For what? Don't know. But some people are wondering. Would a normal person have hundreds/thousands of LLCs and other entities for money to flow through. And consider the cost of doing so - lawyers, accountants, shell company shills, etc. OK, maybe Zuckerberg and Bezos and Gates and Buffet operate the same way. But if not, sort of continues to make you wonder.

(18,652 posts)snip: Human rights lawyer Scott Horton, whose work in the region goes back to defending Andrei Sakharov and other Soviet dissidents, has gone through a series of studies by the Financial Times to show how funds from Russian crime lords bailed Trump out after yet another bankruptcy. The conclusions are stark.
Among the powerful facts that DNI missed were a series of very deep studies published in the [Financial Times] that examined the structure and history of several major Trump real estate projects from the last decadethe period after his seventh bankruptcy and the cancellation of all his bank lines of credit. ...
The money to build these projects flowed almost entirely from Russian sources. In other words, after his business crashed, Trump was floated and made to appear to operate a successful business enterprise through the infusion of hundreds in millions of cash from dark Russian sources.
He was their man. more...

snip: One former executive at a developer that worked with Mr Trump accused him of wilful obliviousness to the details of his partners dealings. But a spokesman for the Trump Organisation said it conducted extensive background checks on its partners, including hiring outside investigators.
One of those partners, Bayrock, has already been a source of controversy. Now the details of Bayrocks association with the family of Viktor Khrapunov, a former Kazakh energy minister and ex-mayor of the city of Almaty, show it was connected to an alleged laundering scheme at the same time as it was collaborating with Mr Trump.
Lawyers for Almaty told a US court in March that Mr Khrapunov and his family conspired to systematically loot hundreds of millions of dollars of public assets . . . and to launder their ill-gotten gains through a complex web of bank accounts and shell companies . . . particularly in the United States.
Viktor Khrapunov denies the Kazakh government's allegations that he and his family laundered millions of dollars
Mr Khrapunov, who now lives in Switzerland, says he is being targeted for opposing the man he used to serve, President Nursultan Nazarbayev, Kazakhstans authoritarian ruler since 1989. His supporters say the familys fortune comes from business success, not embezzlement.
Among the dozens of companies the Almaty lawyers say the Khrapunov laundering network used were three called Soho 3310, Soho 3311 and Soho 3203. Each was a limited liability company, meaning their ownership could easily be concealed.
The companies were created in April 2013 in New York. A week later, property records show, they paid a total of $3.1m to buy the apartments that corresponded with their names in the Trump Soho, a 46-storey luxury hotel-condominium completed in 2010 in a chic corner of Manhattan. snip

Now, we are checked in and paying the bill.
Selling that stuff at Walmart and other down-market retailers is a good idea.
