“I knew that I wanted the dress to have a personal component for her,” said Altuzarra, according to Vogue. The designer went on to describe the deep connection Clinton had to this statement fashion piece.
“When someone like Hillary goes to the Met, it’s not just like, ‘there’s Hillary at the Met and she’s wearing a dress.’ It has a lot of significance. I felt like I had to be very thoughtful about what the dress would mean to the theme and to the occasion,” he said, according to Vogue.

Altuzarra went on to reveal he was inspired by the craftsmanship of homemade quilts from the 19th century when he created this incredible design, according to Vogue.
Clinton wore simple earrings and kept a bare neckline, ensuring the classic cut of this signature dress was uncluttered, and fully showcased.
