Tom Ford is the latest fashion designer to say he doesn’t expect to fly to the White House or Trump Tower to personally dress Melania Trump. He joins a growing list of designers, including Marc Jacobs and Sophie Theallet – who wrote an open letter urging her peers to avoid working with the new first lady.

Unlike Theallet’s pointed statement, Ford was fairly diplomatic in his response to a question that’s been gnawing at the fashion community for several days.
