Melania, a documentary about America's First Lady, is currently causing controversy on both sides of the Atlantic. And normally, I'm the first person to jump headlong into a political fight. But actually, the first time I saw Ellen von Unwerth's promo shot, it made me think of something else entirely.
I started my journalism career, you see, in 1990s London on women's magazines such as Company and CosmoGirl. And so when I first saw the Melania Trump photo, my eye went instantly to the stark black-and-white contrast. The power suit. The crossed legs and sky-high heels. The direct, unflinching gaze.
