The day has finally come.
The inevitable winds of change have finally billowed through the halls of the White House and we are officially under new management.
Our first-ever woman Vice President Kamala Harris is setting the tone when it comes to style and to say that we’re here for it wouldn’t begin to describe our feelings.
Today, on what will be a moment that goes down in history, the Howard University alum opted for a brilliant purple coat by Black designer Christopher John Rogers, heels by Sergio Hudson, and signature pearls, a nod to her sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc. — signaling the start of a new era.
Just the evening before, she attended a ceremony honoring those that we’ve lost to COVID 19 in a stunning and sleek coat by Haitian-American designer Kirby Jean Raymon of Pyer Moss, making it very clear that we can expect an intentional approach to fashion in the years to come.
Speaking of intentional style, our forever first lady Michelle Obama also opted for Sergio Hudson look as she attended the 49th Presidential Inauguration — both women making indelible statements.
Each of these designers has carved their respective spaces in fashion as creators to contend with and having national attention on their work will only raise their profiles.
While the pieces worn by both Vice President Harris and former First Lady Michelle Obama aren’t easy to purchase online, we’ve selected a few of our favorite pieces from these acclaimed designers. Shop below!
