Ivanka Trump closes Her Clothing Brand

Ivanka Trump’s clothing and footwear company will wind down, the company confirmed.

Ivanka Trump announced on Tuesday that she would be shutting down her namesake fashion brand, from which she separated herself from after taking a position as a senior adviser in her father’s administration. “After 17 months in Washington, I do not know when or if I will ever return to the business, but I do know that my focus for the foreseeable future will be the work I am doing here in Washington,” Trump said in a statement given to the Wall Street Journal. “So making this decision now is the only fair outcome for my team and partners.”

“After 17 months in Washington, I do not know when or if I will ever return to the business, but I do know that my focus for the foreseeable future will be the work I am doing here in Washington, so making this decision now is the only fair outcome for my team and partners,” Trump said in an emailed statement.

The news comes in the wake of several big-name department stores dropping the brand from their lineups. Hudson’s Bay Co. said earlier this month that it would stop selling Ivanka Trump’s goods at its Canadian namesake stores, citing slow sales.
