Al Sharpton’s gal pal Aisha McShaw debuts her fashion line, insists she’s not political<\/b>
\nShe puts the sharp in Sharpton.
Aisha McShaw, Al Sharpton’s longtime girlfriend, launched her 46-piece clothing line Wednesday night at the Prince George Ballroom and is pleased with the results.
\u201cI got tired of wearing other people’s clothes on the red carpet, \u201d she told us after the show. McShaw now hopes the buyers who came to see the designs are interested in selling them in their boutiques.
\u201c (Fashion) can unite us and divide us, \u201d she said, explaining that her eponymous clothing brand will be \u201caffordable\u201d and meant for women of all shapes and sizes.
McShaw says the Rev. Al Sharpton is supportive of her new line \u2014 not that he has a choice.
\u201cI turned this apartment into a showroom so there are clothes everywhere, \u201d she laughed. \u00ab\u00a0We have a sewing machine here, we do most of our production in the apartment, so he\u2019s been very supportive.\u201d
McShaw also takes credit for toning down Sharpton’s dapper look.
\u201cHe\u2019s playful, I\u2019 m more conservative and timeless, \u201d she said. \u201cHe likes his pocket squares and I\u2019 m like \u2018no pocket squares.\u2019 But I love it. We mix and match and I lay out clothes for him. We have fun.\u201d

Though McShaw says she isn’t political, she was diplomatic in answering whether she\u2019 d dress controversial First Lady Melania Trump.
\u201cI make clothes for everyone. I’m not into politics, \u201d she said. \u201cSo if Malanie (sic) wanted to buy a dress, I wouldn\u2019 t stop her.\u201d
But Trump would have to pay like anyone else.
\u201cI don’t know about free stuff, \u201d McShaw said. \u201cSorry.\u201d
Ironically, when asked who’s the one person she would like to dress, McShaw got a little political and chose former First Lady Michelle Obama.<\/p>\n
