'Say Yes to the Dress' star Randy Fenoli: For a billionaire, I thought Trump would dress better

Say Yes to the Dress has an alluring power. The TLC reality show, set at New York's Kleinfeld Bridal, features women of all stripes picking out what they will wear down the aisle, with the help of salespeople who are the closest thing the show has to regular characters. Randy Fenoli, the fashion director at Kleinfeld, is a fan favorite. He's colorful and fun, but he's also a designer himself.

Fenoli will be at SugarHouse Casino on Friday to host Girls' Night Out. We talked with Fenoli about presidential fashion and how he can't leave his house without being recognized.

Who comes to see you?

The majority aren't brides. There are only a certain amount of brides. My presentation isn't totally saturated with bridal. This works for your every day styling, and how clothes make you feel. A lot of men come as well. A lot of the time with their girlfriends, or at least they blame it on them.

I'm glad you mentioned the emotional response of clothing. That emotional response is why Say Yes to the Dress resonates with so many people.

People ask why clothes are so important to me. I bring up my girlfriend Oprah. When she took Christmas to the children of Africa, she did all this research. All the boys got a soccer ball, all the girls got a baby doll, and everyone got a uniform. They loved the uniform because they said it made them feel like they weren't poor. When you're walking down the aisle toward the man you love more than anyone on the planet, you want to look and feel amazing. This garment is symbolic and emotional. When you feel beautiful, you stand three feet taller, you smile wider. This isn't about the dress. It's about how you feel in the dress. It wasn't about the uniform, it was about how kids felt in the uniform. I know when I'm wearing a skinny suit, I'm feeling sassy.

That sounds sassy!

I just got an electric-blue suit, it's really skinny. It's really hard for American men to get dressed in the European-style, very-skinny suits. I get all my suits in Europe, and then I go to the tailor three times to make it fit like a glove. You don't wear suits to be comfortable. That's called your sweatpants. Suits are made to look good and show off your body. Most American men don't know how to wear a suit properly.

Everyone talks about Hillary Clinton's clothes, but I always think Donald Trump's suits are too big.

He doesn't know how to wear a tie either. A tie is the only place you can wear a bright color, and it covers the buttons on the front of your shirt. It's supposed to just barely cover the top of your belt buckle. Trump's tie falls below his belt buckle. For a billionaire, I thought he'd dress a little better. Hillary is mostly getting it right. I wish I was dressing her. I wish I could kill some outfits from her wardrobe, too.

You get to play dressup every day with brides.

But I'm also taking away a lot of stress from them. They're allowing me to be a part of this very important decision. When you do a bridal appointment, you're only bringing the people who are very close you: your mom, your sister, your best friend. To know a woman is counting on me, I feel so privileged.

But people have such an affection for you because you are a part of these moments. Fans must feel like they know you.

A few years ago, I was in the Cayman Islands. We took a private boat to a private island. There was a dock that was 300 feet long. I was in my swim trunks. We were snorkeling and diving and some girls were like, "Oh my god, Randy from Say Yes to the Dress!" Without the suit and tie, you'd think I could get away without going incognito. The show is in 150 countries. I was in Amsterdam recently and there were 3000 people that came out. The show is so big overseas in the U.K., and Denmark and the Netherlands. When I was in Amsterdam, a grandmother flew in from Hungary, not speaking a word of English. She flew in with four other family members. I had a little girl who was 11 years old from Belgium, who gave me a sketch of Chewy, my dog.

I try not to think too much about the phenomenon. I just have to pad my time a little bit more when I step outside because I know I'll be stopped. I'll never say no to an autograph or a photo or a handshake. These people support and watch my show. You have to be on all the time, it's like being a politician.

At least you know what to wear.

If Donald Trump can run for president as the reality TV candidate, so can I, and I would do it with style.
