In response to the eyebrow-raising report, Hervé Pierre Braillard told the fashion outlet WWD that the funds he got from the Save America PAC were not for his design work or for any projects he did during the Trump administration. “As with every other first lady, there is an after the White House life, which involves many other aspects than fashion,” he said, adding, “There are many other projects in this after-the-White-House [stage].” Melania Trump’s office also issued a statement saying that “world-renowned artist” Braillard’s “expertise is utilized for special projects and events.”
The Save America PAC has yet to make a statement about the questionable donations, but folks on Twitter have no such hesitations. One commenter said, “A Donald Trump PAC formed to push now debunked voter fraud claims appears to have paid $60K to Melania Trump’s fashion designer Hervé Pierre Braillard. If anyone is prepared to donate to him after this, more fool them.” Another remarked, “Trumpsters throw away hard earned money to support Melania’s stylist — NOT Trump’s fake election fraud legal battles.”
An outraged writer had a demand for the stylist: “Hervé Pierre Braillard: I would return the 60k or donate it to the needy: homeless, food deprived, education funds … and, prove that you did so. This is blood money. Shame on you!”
And yet another critic was even harsher: Citing Melania’s fashion “misses,” they wrote, “He wasn’t worth the money.”
