"As one who celebrates and strives for diversity, individual freedom and respect for all lifestyles, I will not participate in dressing or associating in any way with the next first lady," she wrote in an open letter published Thursday.
"The rhetoric of racism, sexism and xenophobia unleashed by her husband's presidential campaign are incompatible with the shared values we live by."
"I am well aware it is not wise to get involved in politics," Theallet added. "That said, as a family-owned company, our bottom line is not just about money."
The letter has prompted a flood of reaction on social media, much of it negative. Theallet, 52, who has worked in the United States for more than fifteen years, is a regular fixture at New York's fashion week.
Current US First Lady Michelle Obama, has been dressed by Theallet several times and Michelle has provided welcome publicity by wearing several of the designer's dresses since 2009.
"She has contributed to having our name recognized and respected worldwide," Theallet wrote of the current first lady. "Her values, actions and grace have always resonated deeply within me."

She is scared Clinton/Democrats might feel betrayed by her for switching loyalty.. But there is no need for her action.. I am MPO and this is just My Personal Opinion Learn how to work with Excel(Free tutorial) , Learn how to design a Website (Free tutorial) Free Computer Hardware Training
That's her cup of tea. If she doesn't want to some others are on queue already to dress my beautiful Melania Trump.....WTF
Everything is not about money. Right or wrong, there are times when honour demands one takes a courageous stand on ethical values. Kudos to this exemplary lady of class.
She should get away joor! There are many others in the business. Anuohia..
Abi
Malenia doesn't need u
Whose loss? Unprofessional - get out of business soon.
Who she epp? Step aside Biko
Did she call you? Nonsense! Who cares ?
Ivanka Trump can dress her,she does not need that woman to dress her. Melania is a very beautiful woman that will look good in anything she wears.She was a former model,so she can dress herself. The same people who call Trump a hateful person,have more hate in them than the Trump they all hate. Melania is a billionaires wife who already know what to wear when she is going to an occasion with her husband,so she does not need that woman to dress her.
