It’s more than ‘Hillary is at the Met in a gown’. Altuzarra stated that Clinton’s dress has important messages and has significant significance. “It was something I felt that I needed to really think about how the dress could relate to both the theme and the occasion.”
As for how the gown pays tribute to the Met Gala’s In America: An Anthology of Fashion theme and gilded glamor dress code? Altuzarra explained that Altuzarra was inspired by vintage quilts.
He explained that he believes America has a rich history of folk craftsmanship. “People who, even though they aren’t well-known, would sew at home and make items for their families.”
Needless to say, this gown is worth putting on display at the Met some day.
