After Melania Trump broke the internet by wearing a jacket printed with the words “I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?” while on her way to the United States-Mexico border, fashion brands are releasing pieces in retaliation with the words “I REALLY CARE.” In addition, many of the brands have promised that the proceeds will be donated directly to causes that lend support to immigrants.
Many people deemed the jacket decision inappropriate given all that’s been happening in the country with immigration. Melania’s press secretary claimed that it was just a jacket with no hidden message but as the first lady, every piece of clothing that she chooses holds weight.
In response to her outfit decision, clothing brands have begun to release products showing that they, in fact, do care.
Here are some of the items that have been released so far:
