The night that the results of the presidential elections in the United States of America gave victory to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the president-elect and the vice president addressed the world and the desire to make a difference was notorious, affirming, for example . , for the clothing choices of Kamala Harris and future first lady Jill Biden. Both opted for a wardrobe made up of pieces from American brands founded by immigrant designers Carolina Herrera and Oscar de la Renta.
Kamala Harris is the third woman to run for “vice” in the presidential election, yet to date, she is the first to triumph in power. The victory of the party then came on several fronts. She is the first woman to be Vice President and beyond: She is a woman of Jamaican and Indian descent. Dedicated to the fight for women’s rights, she took the stage on Saturday night, dressed by Carolina Herrera, a Venezuelan designer. However, the choice was not accidental. Kamala Harris wore a white suit, the basic color of the suffrage movement, thus combining her election with the fight for women’s rights.
In her speech, the vice president-elect highlighted all the work and struggle of “black, Asian, white, Latina and Native American women” who paved the way for this election to take place. In her opinion, they were “women who fought and sacrificed for equality, freedom and justice for all.” White has been used by Democrats, with some frequency, as in March 2017, when Donald Trump spoke for the first time in the House of Representatives, or last February, when they marked the centennial of the female vote during the State speech. of the Union.
Founded in 1913, the National Women’s Party, a The American political organization adopted white, gold and purple as colors that represent the struggle. White was defined as a “symbol of purity” and Kamala Harris used it as a cry of rebellion. Geraldine Ferraro, the first woman to run for vice president in North America, wore white in 1984 when she accepted the Democratic Party nomination. Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race also chose to wear various white pieces in public appearances.
Echoing the struggle for suffrage in the United States, Kamala Harris said in the speech: “Tonight [7 de Novembro de 2020], I reflect the struggle, determination and strength of the vision of all women ”.
Jill Biden also joins the fight
The future first lady opted for a dress by Oscar de la Renta, a designer of Dominican origin. Jill Biden took the stage on the night of November 7 in Wilmington, Delaware, wearing an asymmetrical black dress, embroidered with flowers and the accessory of the year: a simple black mask. Although it belongs to the brand created by Oscar de la Renta, which disappeared in 2014, the dress was designed and produced by Laura Kim and Fernando García, former students of the designer. In according to magazine Harper’s Bazaar, the dress has already sold out in The Outnet.
The style for which Jill Biden stands out is preceded by that of her friend and former first lady, Michelle Obama. When Michelle took the stage in 2008 to support Barack Obama in the US presidential election, a new trend began, one of supporting American talent and, more specifically, that of ethnic minority designers. Melania Trump, on the other hand, always wore what she wanted, whether they were American creators or not.
