Today, Kamala Harris will be sworn in as Vice-President making history as the first Black, South Asian woman to hold the position.
As the transition into a new office started yesterday, the VP was seen sporting a strong Pyer Moss coat to the memorial held for COVID-19 patients. While the next 4 years of outfit decisions from Harris will be documented, she started her initial step into power wearing a Black designer, a community of curators who have debatably been left out of political wear.
This morning while attending an Inauguration ceremony Harris continued her support for Black designers by wearing a striking purple Christopher John Rogers coat and Sergio Hudson shoes. Rogers, who won the 2019 CFDA Emerging Designer of the Year award has dressed celebrities like Tracee Ellis Ross and Rihanna. The designer’s choice to deliver couture color blocking moments is why just at 26-years-old, he has managed to hold a major moment in history. Political wardrobe comes as no surprise for Hudson as the designer was a favorite for Michelle Obama, who is also reportedly wearing him today.
Of course, Harris’s Inaugural fashion statement did come without the internet swarming with their thoughts. Check out a few tweets below.
