(55,426 posts)Ivanka Trump takes fire for hawking $10,800 bracelet worn on "60 Minutes"
President-elect Donald Trumps daughter Ivanka has long used her image as a style icon to help promote her fashion label.
But now that her father is headed to the White House, and Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner are members of Trumps transition team, questions are being asked about whether its appropriate for her to use news interviews to promote her business.
Ivanka, her father and the rest of the family (except for 10-year-old Barron) appeared on 60 Minutes Sunday. Ivanka was seated in the front row, wearing a $10,800 gold and diamond bracelet. On Monday, her company sent an email to fashion writers promoting the bracelet, mentioning its appearance on 60 Minutes and showing a photo from the interview.

It was not the first time Ivanka received criticism for promoting her own brand on a political stage. Less than 12 hours after introducing her father at the Republican National Convention in July, she sent a tweet about the dress she wore, a $138 garment from her own line. It sold out within a day.
