Is Ivanka Trump's fashion line any good?

... the White House press secretary Sean Spicer has declared that any attack on Ivanka Trump’s clothing line is also a “direct attack” on the US president ...

... there is nothing “alt” about the Ivanka Trump fashion range, aesthetically speaking. There are shoes that seem heavily inspired by the two-tone Chanel slingbacks that flooded Instagram feeds this time last year. There are bags whose extended side-panels recall the famous Celine Trapeze tote. There’s a black shopper with laser cut-outs that is spookily reminiscent of the £1,780 status arm-candy by Azzedine Alaia. There are Chanel 2.55-shaped handbags of the kind produced in every supermarket concession. The collection shows a talent for taking the temperature of what was happening in design five years ago ...

1. and let us remind everyone that she is being sued by a shoe designer for stealing their designs.

2. ...and that some her third-world sweat shop products were recalled

for failing to meet US flammability safety standards

3. In my opinion: No. Earlier today I did look at the L&T Ivanka Trump's Collection.

4. Heavily Inspired Is The Relevant Term Here

Meaning she steals what others do.... just like her father does.

5. same cookie cutter skinny b*tch crap done by hundreds of designers

and impractical shoes. What professional woman needs/wants a stiletto these days?

6. I, for one, welcome stilettos--they are, alas, going to come in handy for dealing

with the gropers and assorted assholes.

remember to SING--Solar plexus, Instep, Nose, Groin.

7. Give me a good pair of flats for the last step :D

You kick with more pounds of pressure per square inch if you use the flat top part of your foot vs the toe.

Stilettos make an impressive throwing weapon, tho

8. on the other hand, if you use the heel. . . . .

9. true enough!

(I sense a disturbance in the force... as if all the male DUers suddenly winced in pain... )

You raised a good point tho- self defense is important in the age of Groper Don. Know your strength and power ladies- no matter your size, strength or ability, there are ways to protect yourself against attackers. It saved my disabled ass from a rapist in college, it can save you too!

10. snort!!!!! you might consider posting that video as its own OP.

11. saw this today and it seemed appropriate

Who wore it better?
