Hervé Pierre: French-Born Designer Of Melania Trump’s Dress Gets ‘Buy American’ Backlash

First lady Melania Trump’s dress designer has been revealed: Hervé Pierre. According to the New York Times and INYT fashion director/critic Vanessa Friedman, Melania’s dress represented not only the work of Hervé Pierre alone — but he received input from his co-creator, Mrs. Trump herself. Hervé is the former creative director of Carolina Herrera, having served 14 years with Herrera New York, according to WWD. The publication describes the gown designed by Melania and Hervé as a vanilla silk gown with a red ribbon.

Pierre left Herrera’s company as creative director back in February of 2016. According to WWD, the publication confirmed Pierre’s departure from the company during that time period, but would not disclose the details of why Hervé decided to leave the designer’s house. According to the New York Times, during the time that Pierre left, it was a turbulent time for Herrera. Yet and still, the publication noted that Carolina stated that after 14 years serving as creative director, it was simply time for Herrera to change — a change that he felt as well, according to Carolina.

According to Fashionista, Pierre was fired after a lunch in celebration for the February 15 fall runway show. Hervé was not apparently let go by Carolina, but he was allegedly fired by CEO and president François Kress — a rumor that Herrera denied and called false gossip. Instead, Carolina said she approved of Pierre moving on, and added that she and Hervé remained friends.
