Kamala Harris is making history as vice president. How will her style reflect that? TODAY 1/19/2021 Ruth Etiesit Samuel
As Kamala Harris makes history as the first Black, South Asian and female vice president, fashion leaders hope her style choices will make a statement especially one that promotes American designers.
“I think she has a duty to uplift American fashion because by doing so, she adds value to it,” said Antoine Gregory, founder of Black Fashion Fair, an online platform that aims to bolster Black designers who have often been ignored or erased from history. “People who are in fashion place a higher value on European design. A lot of American designers don t get the same acknowledgment, the same type of press or the same type of visibility.”
