Why Tiffany Trump consistently chooses Chinese fashion label Taoray Wang
Front row at Tao Wang’s New York Fashion Week show was Tiffany Trump, youngest daughter to Donald Trump
It was such a pleasant surprise for Tao Wang to see Tiffany Trump, the youngest of US President Donald Trump’s two daughters, sitting in the front row at the Chinese designer’s New York fashion week show.
“She looks even more beautiful, elegant and confident. I feel very happy and proud.” Wang told Xinhua. “I would say she chooses her own style rather than Taoray Wang.”
The 23-year-old Trump drew media attention in an off-white V-neck dress and two-toned coat by Taoray Wang, the namesake brand of the Shanghai-based designer, who debuted her Fall/Winter 2017 line in the Skylight Clarkson Square.
Evolution of a next-door-girl
“I’m here to support Tao and that comes with the territory. I thought the collection was spectacular, the way she tailors so well and flows in fabrics,” Trump was quoted as sayingbackstage.
Trump is the only child from her father’s six-year marriage to actress and TV personality Marla Maples from 1993 to 1999. She graduated in 2016 with a degree in Sociology and Urban Studies from the University of Pennsylvania, her father’s alma mater.
The US first daughter, who grew up in California with her mother, said she is partial to “the classic look, chic, simple - sometimes adding a little bit of an edge, a little girly influence or something more trendy.
“My aesthetic kind of changes. Tao really hits it right on point. She has lace, leather, perfectly tailored jackets. I love it,” she said.
The first time Trump met Wang was at her Spring/Summer 2017 show on September 12, 2016 in New York.
“Tiffany got to know me from her friend’s lookbook and she cancelled her flight to Los Angeles to come to my show that day,” Wang, who first debuted her brand at New York Fashion Week in the fall of 2014, recalled.
Wang said Trump was “just like the girl next door”, catering to various requests from audiences for photos with her.
“Tiffany went backstage afterwards, expressed her appreciation of my design, and told me she would follow my brand,“ Wang said. ”I thought she said so just out of courtesy at the time. But she did write to me soon and we had deeper interaction.”
Tiffany is the kind of a woman who knows what she wants, and is never afraid to express herself. That is exactly my brand is about
