Can anyone recognize the designer of these 2 suits Ivana Trump was recently wearing at Paris Fashion Week? It captured my eye immediately , the design of both is strong and so feminine at the same time.

Yeah, Ivanka and Donald's wife Melania seem to be in love with these empire waisted gowns- that look awful on almost everyone, IMO...Very strange...
Yes, but did you notice how heavy the make up was? She almost looked like her mother- which, these days, is not a great thing to remind people of...

Please note "I HAVE projects all over the world"...Right..you do...
If you're looking to invest some money in real estate but you're not sure where exactly to place your bets, Ivanka Trump has some advice for you: Invest in Panama! "I have projects all over the world [and] have a unique sense of the global real estate climate and submarkets," she tells Latin Business Chronicle today. "With great conviction, Panama is one of the strongest, if not the strongest, real estate market." Who knew? Naturally, there's a reason for her extreme bullishness on the Central American nation: A 70-story Trump development is scheduled to open there next year. But she may be also thinking ahead in the event her dad's well-publicized financial troubles get even worse: She also tells the paper that she now sees the country as a great "escape." - Latin Business Chronicle

Wow that lady beside her is giving her the stink eye. Don't hate lady!
As much as I love her, I'm getting really tired of hearing about "Her" deals...Ivanka-you would be a mid-level something or other at a mid-sized development company being hit on by contractors and lawyers if it wasn't for your father...These are not your deals- I'm sure you will agree now that so many of them have gone bad... 
Trump venture folds, leaving buyers strapped
By ELLIOT SPAGAT – 3/6/09
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Stephen and Linda Drake cast aside concerns about owning property in Mexico because they believed in Donald Trump.
The Southern California couple paid $250,000 down payment on a 19th-floor oceanfront condo in Trump Ocean Resort Baja in 2006 before the first construction crew arrived.
But admiration for the celebrity developer and star of "The Apprentice" has now turned into anger and disbelief as Trump's luxury hotel-condo plan collapsed, leaving little more than a hole in the ground and investors out of their deposits, which totaled $32.2 million.
"I can't even stand to see Trump's face on TV," says Linda Drake, a psychologist, whose husband is a commercial airline pilot and financial adviser.
Investors were told last month their money was spent and they won't get a penny back. A single mother in suburban Los Angeles lost $200,000 and won't be able to send her sons to private universities. A Los Angeles-area businessman lost a deposit of more than $1 million on four Trump units, including two penthouses.
The project's collapse comes at a delicate time for Trump, whose casino company, Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc., filed for bankruptcy protection last month. He also is embroiled in a lawsuit to avoid paying debt on the struggling Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago.
Trump and his children heavily promoted the northern tip of Mexico's Baja California coast. He sold 188 units for $122 million the first day they went on a sale at a lavish event in a downtown San Diego hotel in December 2006.
"I went out and saw this site, and I was blown away by it," Ivanka Trump told The Associated Press in June 2007. "From the minute I saw it, it was a deal I had to do."
The location was a contrast to more expensive Mexican coastal markets such as Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos and Cancun, she said.
The Trumps remained buoyant even as the U.S. housing market began to crumble. Ivanka assured buyers in an October 2007 newsletter that all Trump projects were immune to a slowdown.
"In characteristic Trump fashion, Trump Ocean Resort Baja will be the best of the best, and consequently always in demand," she wrote.
All that remains of Trump Baja is a highway billboard with a large photo of Donald Trump that advertises condos for sale. It hovers over a closed sales center and showroom, a paved parking lot, a big hole that cuts a wide swath, drainage pipes and construction equipment.
The failure of Trump Baja is a big blow to a real estate market just south of the border from San Diego that was booming two years ago with U.S. buyers looking for second homes and easy profits but is now similarly swooning. The market has been hammered by Mexico's drug-fueled violence and the global economic crisis.
Other developers completed big projects nearby in recent years and the area remains home to thousands of Americans, but the cliff-lined coast is pocked with partially built towers. The steel frame of one oceanfront high-rise is rusting, with air ducts hanging from one floor and an idled crane out front. A wind-tattered sales sign hangs outside twin towers nearby, one that appears almost complete and the other a much shorter steel skeleton.
Trump Baja demanded about 30 percent down for units that sold from less than $300,000 to $3 million, buyers said.
Deposits on abandoned projects are also at risk in the U.S., even in states like California that prohibit developers from spending the money on construction, lawyers say. The risk may be higher in Mexico because consumer protection laws are generally weak.
"The bottom line in Mexico is caveat emptor, buyer beware," said Art Spaulding, an Irvine, Calif., real estate attorney who does business south of the border.
Trump's condos went on sale when Southern California home prices were near their peak, offering a lower-cost alternative in the Mexican border city of Tijuana. The Trump Organization teamed up with Los Angeles developer Irongate Capital Partners LLC, the partnership behind Trump International Hotel & Tower Waikiki in Honolulu.
Guadalupe Mendoza, 47, paid a $200,000 deposit at the first-day sale in San Diego, refinancing her Downey home and getting a loan from a sister. She watched a giant screen show units getting snapped up.
After signing papers, buyers were ushered to a buffet of sirloin tip and fish tacos. Cheers erupted in the hotel ballroom for each new owner.
"I did it in less than a minute," said Mendoza, an administrator in the Los Angeles County Office of Education. "I remember my head was hurting and thinking, 'My God, what was that?' I was thinking maybe I should have asked questions. It was like a roller-coaster ride."
Buyers pressed for updates as construction fell behind schedule. They got a bombshell letter in December that said negotiations for a construction loan from German bank WestLB AG collapsed and Trump Baja had only $556,000 left. It quoted a contract clause that gave the developer a right to spend their deposits.
Another letter came in January that said Trump was removing his name.
A Feb. 16 letter from a Mexican entity, PB Impulsores, said the project was scrapped "given the extreme dislocation of the financial markets." It said there was no money left to refund deposits.
The December letter says Trump was not an investor, but buyers said they were sold on his imprimatur.
"We thought of Donald Trump," says Linda Drake. "If Donald Trump was behind it, it was going to work ... I am embarrassed to tell people we got caught up in this."
Ivanka Trump told the AP in 2007 that her father "is the boss" when asked about his role in the project.
"He is involved in every capacity," she said.
In response to a request to interview Donald and Ivanka Trump, the Trump Organization issued a statement that said its partner violated an agreement to license the Trump name, missing deadlines to obtain financing and begin construction.
Timothy Hughes, an attorney for Irongate, said the project "will not be going forward" but declined to answer questions.
One buyer sued Trump and Irongate in Los Angeles Superior Court last month and more litigation is expected.
"They put their trust in this project and feel betrayed," said Bart Ring, a Woodland Hills attorney who says he represents about 75 buyers who haven't sued.
Homeowners and brokers in Baja welcomed the publicity and higher prices that Trump brought. Now they wish he never came.
"It was a two-edged sword that's cutting the wrong way," said broker Brian Flock. "Everybody is shellshocked. I call it post-Trump syndrome."

OH Boomer, you make me LOL.
Times of London- 3/7/09
...The day after Brad Pitt’s visit Obama held a “young business leaders” conference at the White House to discuss the economic crisis. Evan Williams, 36, the innovative founder of the social networking site Twitter, was invited. “[It] must mean they’re *really* out of ideas,” Williams twittered.
Ivanka Trump, 27, the fashionista daughter of Donald Trump, the New York property tycoon, came along for the ride. Williams and other “young business leaders” took pictures of themselves with her on their mobile phones outside the White House.
At this rate, it cannot be long before the mutual appreciation between Obama and stars enters the realm of parody.

Oh jeez she even looks awesome in camera phone pictures! Now I really feel bad about myself.
Here's The Big I in Latin Business Chronicle (between fashion shows and trips to the White House) -at it again...I wonder what her father, two brothers and 20,000 employees think of this new, endless self aggrandizement...
Ivanka Trump,executive vice president of development and acquisitions at U.S.-based Trump Organization, is bullish on Panama.
“I have projects all over the world [and] have a unique sense of the global real estate climate and submarkets,” she tells Latin Business Chronicle. “With great conviction, [I can say that] Panama is one of the strongest, if not the strongest, real estate market. Our biggest problem is not having enough inventory. We only have a small percent of the building left.”

I'm not too sure that they are going to talk their way out of this one...there was $32million lost and the fraud charges are boderline criminal...
