Former first lady Melania Trump’s memoir recently went on pre-sale and the cover is raising eyebrows as it appears similar to that of Chanel Catwalk, a fashion tome which has been on sale for years via Independent.
It has been noted that the title of the book, Melania, appears in white on a plain black background on the cover. The design and font appear to be extremely close to the 2020 book by French author Patrick Mauries, The Daily Beast noted.
As per the publisher Thames & Hudson, Chanel Catwalk includes every collection from the designer created by the late Karl Lagerfeld.
The Melania cover title in capital letters in white text, centered on a plain black background appears close to that of the Chanel book.
The former first lady faced criticism in 2016 for allegedly using parts of Michelle Obama’s Democratic National Convention speech in her own address at the Republican National Convention.
“Our lives are shaped by our experiences, challenges, and achievements. For the first time, I share my journey with you, in my new memoir, Melania,” the former first lady wrote on X on August 25.
The memoir, set to be released on October 1, is described by her office as “a powerful and inspiring story of a woman who has carved her own path, overcome adversity and defined personal excellence.”
Critics were not so sure of the memoir’s monochrome statement.
“Imagine that the lady who was furious she didn’t get a Vogue cover as First Lady has a memoir with no photo of her on the cover like in every other memoir in history,” journalist Victoria Brownworth posted on the social media site.
