“I was able to convince Anna to put her on the cover. I did a lot to define to the viewer who Hillary actually is,” de la Renta told Haute Living in an interview.

He added, “[The cover shot] was taken when she was still in the White House. I do remember at the time her advisers weren’t sure if it was the right thing to do, but in the end, she said, ‘Oscar, you have a great instinct about me. Let’s do it’.” The dress she wore for the cover was a creation by the designer himself.
