NEW YORK: While a few designers have made news saying they would not dress the future first lady, Carolina Herrera says she would be honored if Melania Trump wore one of her outfits.
Who might dress the wife of President-elect Donald Trump has become an issue after designers Sophie Theallet and Tom Ford, who have both dressed first lady Michelle Obama, said they would not do so for Mrs. Trump.
But when asked if she would, Herrera said on Monday night: “Of course I will, as the first lady of this country I will.”
She added, “It is an honor to dress the first ladies of the country and it’s something to do for the United States. It’s not for myself. It’s for the public.”
Herrera was lauded for her 35 years of fashions at New York City event by Emmy Rossum and Seth Meyers, among others. Diana Ross sang a mini-concert in Herrera’s honor.
