Is Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter Ella Emhoff 2021’s hottest model? Her New York Fashion Week debut was filmed just days after her US presidential inauguration outfit went viral
- Ella Emhoff’s Miu Miu coat was second only to Bernie Sanders’ mittens and jacket look when it came to viral meme potential at the US presidential inauguration
- The knitwear nut and Parsons School of Design student was quickly signed up to walk for Proenza Schouler at New York Fashion Week
The 21-year-old Emhoff walked the runway for the Proenza Schouler label as part of New York Fashion Week.
The parade was filmed a few weeks ago, with the coronavirus pandemic ruling out a traditional show. Emhoff wore three different looks for Proenza Schouler: a long grey jacket with matching slashed trousers, a black trench coat and a dark pantsuit.
“That was my first ever fashion experience,” said Emhoff during a talk with two of Proenza Schouler’s designers on the New York Fashion Week website. “I have to say I was a little nervous. I definitely lost a little sleep the night before.”
Emhoff is the daughter of Harris’s husband Doug Emhoff and his first wife Kerstin Mackin.
The final-year student at the Parsons School of Design in New York is also a knitwear designer. Last week she released a collection of five items that included two sweater vests and a long striped dress.
