EL NUEVO DIARIO, NEW YORK.- Ella Emhoff, stepdaughter of the US vice president, Kamala Harris, debuted this Thursday as a model at New York Fashion Week participating in the digital presentation of the new Proenza Schoulder collection and in a talk with its designers.
She, the 21-year-old daughter of Harris’s husband Doug Emhoff, caused a sensation in the fashion world last month for the extravagant coat she wore at the US presidential inauguration event, and shortly after the ceremony achieved a contract at the IMG modeling agency.
The veteran fashion firm Proenza Schouler decided to have the young woman present her autumn-winter 2021 collection on the last day of “Fashion Week”, through a pre-recorded video that aired today and in which she appears walking with some of the proposals.
New York Fashion Week has held a virtual edition for the second time in which many veteran names have been missing and most have published videos and catalogs of their garments on the internet, so the organization has enlivened the event with some talks .
One of those talks, after the broadcast of Proenza Schouler, was carried out by its designers Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough, who took Emhoff as a surprise guest to the headquarters of the New York “Fashion Week” at Spring Studios to talk about the experience .
“I decidedly lost some sleep the night before (…). I mean, I’m walking for the first time, I’m in a professional setting for the first time. It was a very epic first experience in the world of fashion, ”she told the couturiers about the video shoot, which took place several days ago.
Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter said she has long wanted to be a fashion designer and for two years she took summer classes at London’s prestigious Central Saint Martins school, which exposed her, she said, to the “intensity of the school of design”.
