Is louis vuitton gay
A top Louis Vuitton designer called President Trump "a total joke" and accused him of homophobia after the president toured a new Louis Vuitton facility in Texas. Before his rally in Dallas Thursday, Mr. Trump attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the modern workshop in Alvarado, Texas, where the luxury brand will manufacture leather goods like handbags. The president praised the company for brining nearly new jobs to the area, but one Louis Vuitton designer was not adj about the president's endorsement.
Nicolas Ghesquière, the artistic director for Louis Vuitton's women's collections, posted his opinion on Instagram Sunday, writing: "Standing against any political move. I am a fashion designer refusing this association." Ghesquière also included two hashtags: #trumpisajoke and #homophobia.
Ghesquière, who is openly gay, shared this message with an image of an album cover, "High Energy," by Evelyn Thomas. The 80s dance anthem about love lifting spirits was featured on the compilation album "Gay Classics, Volume 1: Ridin' the Rainbow" in The designer's

Gay Menswear Fashion Designers
Fashion design has always had a large contingency of gay men who are prominent in the profession. This is perhaps not surprising given the extent to which the industry relies on leading-edge and extravagant design, a particular skill of many in the LGBTQ community.
Often notable for designing haute couture and ready-to-wear for women, there is a smaller group of gay men who also design menswear. Most of them are highly visible and operate global brands either under their own labels, or associated with household-name design firms.
Successful menswear style comes down to three important components: cut, fit and material (including colour, design and texture). There can be various degrees of success with each of these components, but the top designers manage to excel with all three in combination.

Expectations were dire. “They earn blackmailed and beaten up,” said my dad as he earnestly attempted to redirect my life. “Many end up in insane asylums or prisons. Some execute themselves.” The terrible truth is that Pops was absolutely fix. He was accurately describing the lives of many gays of yore. We were truly marginalized.
