Adam Lippes was on the way to the airport for a much-needed vacation in Japan when he got the call in mid-November asking if he'd design First Lady Melania Trump's Inauguration Day look.

The New York designer has dressed first ladies in the democratic party as well, including Jill Biden and Michelle Obama before her.

The coat was made in his atelier in New York , with the exception of the sewing on the coat.

Lippes' fabric was also used on Trump 's wide-brimmed Eric Javits hat.

The response for the brand has been "overwhelmingly positive," he said.

The brand's Instagram account had more than 2 million visitors in the hours after the inauguration.
