Ella Emhoff has made her official runway debut for American label Proenza Schouler at New York Fashion Week.
The stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris first caught the publicโs attention at President Joe Bidenโs inauguration, when her embellished Miu Miu coat went viral and made her the eventโs sartorial breakout star.
Shortly after the ceremony, Emhoff was signed to IMG Models. The agencyโs formidable directory includes supermodels Karlie Kloss and Gisele Bรผndchen as well as Bella and Gigi Hadid.

Like many other brands, Proenza Schouler is presenting its Fall-Winter 2021 womenswear collection digitally this year due to ongoing health and safety concerns due to the pandemic.
The American labelโs designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez say that Emhoff exudes the spirit of the brand.
โHaving Ella be in the show was perfect for us because she represents this idea of a new beginning, a whole new chapter in American life and American culture,โ Hernandez told the Associated Press.
โItโs the beginning of something new and fresh and optimistic and joyful and we wanted the clothes to have that feeling.โ
Hernandez told AP that this is something that drew him to the young woman.
โThe models that are interesting to us these days are not just faces. Theyโre faces that stand for something, that mean something. And sheโs emblematic of this new generation of models and women, of fashion,โ he said. โModels have to stand for something, they have to have meaning. It canโt just be a beautiful girl standing there.โ
