She was noticed during the presidential inauguration ceremony.

The daughter-in-law of United States Vice President Kamala Harris made her modeling debut at the New York house Proenza Schouler fashion show,

A final year student at the New York school of design Parsons, Ella Emhoff was one of the models appearing in the film presented Thursday by Proenza Schouler, instead of a traditional parade, pandemic requires.

"It was my first fashion experience"

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 in a conversation with the two creators 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.

Hired one week after the investiture ceremony

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.
