Ella Emhoff: Her best style moments so far

Stepdaughter of Vice President and Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris, Ella Emhoff has garnered the attention of the fashion world thanks to a love of high-fashion fused with quirky individuality, plus a proper commitment to sustainability. 

Ella was born in 1999 in Los Angeles, California to a Hollywood producer mother (Kerstin Emhoff) and entertainment lawyer father (Kamala’s husband of ten years, Douglas Emhoff).

She continues to study textiles at the well respected Parsons School of Design in New York, a school that has welcomed notable alumni through its doors including Ai Weiwei, Tom Ford and Prabal Gurung.

Embodying an effortless Gen Z approach to style that veers towards the eccentric, punctuated with statement pieces, Ella first catapulted into attention when she sported a bedazzled Miu Miu coat paired with a Batsheva dress for President Joe Biden’s induguration back in 2021.

IMG Models soon swooped in to sign her up as a model and she has since walked for the likes of Miu Miu, Proenza Schoulder and Coach, and has been the face of several advertising campaigns too.

She's a fantastic knitwear designer in her own right, often showcasing her creations on her Instagram and her pieces are original, whimsical and most importantly - crafted with eco-friendly techniques.

Passionate about sustainability and an advocate for mental health awareness and body positivity, we're very excited to see what the future holds for Ms Emhoff.
