Naturally, designers are reluctant to claim their good customer, but happy to claim their living billboard, to whom they also donate money.
Designer Alfred Fiandaca did admit that Mrs. Romney wears his clothes, but was quick to claim that she buys them off the rack and doesn’t get any personal fittings. And he’s a lifelong Democrat. And he doesn’t agree with the Romneys. Etc.
I can sympathize, actually. Conservatives buy good stuff unless the person is abhorrent; liberals, likewise, but not ostracizing conservatives is abhorrent….
