Hang a left on Bill Clinton Boulevard in Pristina, Kosovo, go past the giant statue of the president, and you'll arrive at Hillary, a shop dedicated to the fashion sense of the former secretary of state and first lady.

The store is filled with skirts and pantsuits inspired by its namesake, and shoppers come in from across Kosovo and the Balkans. "We respect her name and her personality here," store owner Besian Morina told told Yahoo Travel. "Our clothes are modeled after her own fashion."

Clinton has visited the boutique, stopping by in 2012. She left with a navy suit, the store's second-most-popular color — bright red comes in first. "Since she visited here, we are even more popular and we have been able to expand into another room," Morina said. "We thank her very much for that."
