Donatella Versace has criticized Hillary Clinton for wearing pantsuits, saying "She should treat femininity as an opportunity and not try to emulate masculinity in politics."
Leave it to a fashion designer to focus on the ultra important political issues of today.
Versace's statements are sexist, plain and simple. It's anti-feminine to wear pantsuits? Intelligent women have to wear skirts, show off their legs, and parade around in those ridiculous two inch heals (because I'm sure Versace isn't all that gung ho about flats or low-healed-pantsuit-style boots, either!)?
Why is it no one's focusing on Rudy's attire or what George W. Bush is wearing these days? I guess a suit is a suit is a suit... unless a woman happens to wear it.
Girls and Boys, Women and Men, some good advice follows: wear what's comfortable and practical first and foremost, and yes, if it looks good, too, that's a big plus. Women who are willing to walk around 10-12 hours a day in something that's uncomfortable or who feel they have to show off parts of their anatomy to "be feminine" are fools to modern day sexism.
And if you happen to be running for President of the United States of America, don't hooker it up.
Versace, you are so Twentieth Century. Catch up.
