Incoming US first lady has high heels to fill, but few designers will help

New York

SHE may be tall, slim and a former model, but incoming first lady Melania Trump faces a new kind of fashion police - designers refusing to dress her because of her husband's politics.

She has posed nude for GQ, modelled in Paris and graced the cover of Vogue, yet what Melania wears to the inaugural balls on Friday night could be the most important sartorial decision of her life.
