The 21-year-old art student and designer from Brooklyn only signed a few weeks ago with the renowned agency IMG Models and has now become one of the most sensational people on the catwalks at Fashion Week.

Emhoff came into focus in the fashion world when the new President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were inaugurated.

She accompanied her stepmother in a skilfully stylish outfit by Miu Miu, and an extraordinary eyebrow movement made her a social media star.

Emhoff ran her first show as a model for the designer duo Proenza Schouler, whom she then thanked for this opportunity on Instagram.

Emhoff exudes a sympathetic down-to-earth attitude, far removed from the airs of other models or daughters of New York society parents.

In addition to her extraordinary personal style, that's what makes the hype about her person.

“I definitely lost a bit of sleep the night before.

I mean, this is my first time running, my first time in a professional setting.

It was a very impressive first experience with the fashion world, ”Ella told designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez after the event, as reported by CNN.

In the short film for the new collection by Proenza Schouler, Emhoff appears as the main actor - for a newcomer model this is of course a big performance.

Could the fame go to her head in the future?

Here, too, the 21-year-old seems to be very realistic and knows how things work in the fashion world: “I was quite surprised when that happened to IMG.

Because when I was younger I never saw that as part of my future.

As someone who, like many young girls out there, had problems with self-esteem, it is intimidating and scary to go into this world that is hyper-focused on you and your body, "she told New York Times ”.
