While multiple fashion designers have come out refusing to dress Melania Trump, one said it would be "an honor" to do so for the next first lady.

Carolina Herrera said she would gladly create clothing for Trump before receiving an award Tuesday night from the Women's Leadership Council at the Lincoln Center, the Associated Press reported.

Herrera has designed clothing for current First Lady Michelle Obama in the past.

"It is an honor to dress the first ladies of the country and it's something to do for the United States," Herrera said. "It's not for myself. It's for the public."

Other prominent fashion designers have said they will not work for Trump in the White House. Sophie Theallet and Tom Ford have both said that they will not dress the soon-to-be first lady, the latter refusing to do because of her opposition to President-elect Donald Trump. Ford said his clothing is "too expensive" for a first lady to wear, although he and Theallet have both dressed Michelle Obama in the past.
