A final year student at the New York Parsons School of Design, Ella Emhoff was one of the models appearing in the film presented Thursday by Proenza Schouler, instead of a traditional parade, pandemic requires.
The 21-year-old woman wears a black leather trench coat, a long gray coat and a black pantsuit, examples of an autumn-winter collection where comfort and amplitude dominate.

“It was my first fashion experience,” she explained during a conversation with the two designers of Proenza Schouler, Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough, broadcast on the official website of New York Fashion Week. “I have to say I was a little nervous.”
Lazaro Hernandez said the film was shot outdoors several weeks ago in New York City, in temperatures close to -10 ° C.
Ella Emhoff is the daughter of Doug Emhoff, husband of Kamala Harris, and Kerstin Mackin, whose lawyer divorced in 2009 before marrying the future vice-president in 2014.
She had been noticed at Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ inauguration ceremony on January 20, largely for her sartorial choices, including a Miu Miu coat that caused a stir.
A week after the ceremony, she was hired by the modeling agency IMG.
Taking advantage of this momentum and her appearance at Proenza Schouler, Ella Emhoff put online a mini-collection of five pieces knitted by her on Thursday. The set, available in only one copy per model, was already sold by mid-afternoon.
