Vice President Kamala Harris and President's wife Jill Biden are the new example of power lady style

The night of Biden-Harris&#39; victory celebration in Wilmington, Delaware was a big night for America and for American fashion. In their first speeches as president-elect and vice-president-elect, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris sought to heal the divisions that have defined the last four years of US politics. And it is noteworthy that Carolina Herrera&#39;s white suffragette-style dress that Harris wore to convey this message, as well as the Oscar de la Renta asymmetrical floral dress worn by future First lady Jill Biden , are both from fashion brands. Americans of immigrant origin who have long dressed first ladies on both sides of the political lane.

In her historic speech as First Woman Elected Vice President, Harris recalled how her late mother, an Indian immigrant, &quot;believed so deeply in America where a moment like this is possible, and so I think of her and generations of women. , black, Asian, white, Latina, Latin American women - who throughout our nation&#39;s history have paved the way for this moment - women who have fought and sacrificed so much for equality and freedom and justice for all &quot;.

The Harris suit jacket and trousers , from the 2021 resort collection by Wes Gordon , creative director of Carolina Herrera , is from a label whose founder, born in Venezuela, has been proudly chosen by the first ladies of every party, regardless of their political affiliation. During her nearly four-decade career (she retired in 2016), Herrera created dresses for Nancy Reagan, Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush, Michelle Obama and, yes, even Melania Trump.

Jill Biden&#39;s embroidered midi dress is part of the Oscar de la Renta resort 2020 collection co-designed by Laura Kim , who grew up between Korea and Canada, and Fernando Garcia , who spent her childhood in the Dominican Republic and Spain. Dominica-born Oscar de la Renta has always had a solid relationship with the White House, which has made him a favorite designer of many women in politics, from Jackie Kennedy to Michelle Obama. De la Renta, before his untimely death, also supported the presidential campaign of his friend Hillary Clinton and was also close to Nancy Reagan and Laura Bush.

From the moment Michelle Obama stepped out in a red and black Narciso Rodriguez dress on the night Barack Obama won his first presidential election in 2008, she began what would become a trademark of her style: supporting American talent, and in particular the stylists of color. In doing so, she showed both the power of fashion to speak up in launching messages of inclusion and diversity, and created unprecedented value for all the brands that have been chosen by the first lady. And we hope that this tradition will be carried on by Kamala and Jill.

Apparently, at a time when the American fashion industry has been hit hard by the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, it has found two great cheerleaders in the first female vice president in US history and the future first lady. Biden&#39;s dress sold out on The Outnet on election night.
