Palin jacket designer seeks distance from Trump ticket
The fashion design company behind the now-infamous, eye-popping jacket that Sarah Palin sported when announcing her endorsement of Donald Trump is now reportedly distancing itself from the former GOP vice presidential candidate.
{mosads}Palin slipped on a spangly $695 creation by Milly before voicing her support in Iowa last week for the Republican presidential front-runner. But when the costume design team at “Saturday Night Live” attempted to contact the fashion label to recreate the sold-out garment for a sketch with Tina Fey standing in for Palin, they reportedly hit a snag.
“[Milly] had no interest in helping us. So we looked all over the internet and in the end beaded the jacket ourselves.” Tom Broecker, an “SNL” costume designer, told the New York Daily News. A behind-the-scenes video posted on Instagram shows a designing duo feverishly sewing metallic beads onto “SNL’s” version of Palin’s bolero:
A source told the Daily News that the powers-that-be at the clothing brand “don’t want us affiliated with any of this.”
A Milly rep told the paper, “This piece is from a collection back in 2014 — it is no longer available for sale.”
