Tiffany Trump, the youngest daughter of the US president, came out in support of Chinese fashion designer Wang Tao on Saturday.

Along with her mother Marla Maples and boyfriend Ross Mechanic, Trump sat in the front row at the Taoray Wang show for New York Fashion Week.

"She's an amazing designer," Trump said backstage before the show, explaining that she became a fan of Shanghai-based Wang after a show in September.
