The second daughter has a new role.
Ella Emhoff, the 21-year-old stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris and the daughter of Doug Emhoff, signed with IMG Models.
Following the announcement that inaugural poet Amanda Gorman struck a deal with the same agency, IMG revealed that Emhoff will also join the ranks of Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss and many of the other top models in the industry.
“It is no longer about shape, size or gender,” Ivan Bart, president of IMG Models, told the New York Times. “Ella communicates this moment in time. She exudes a bold look and a joy ”.
He added that when he saw Ella wearing a sparkling Miu Miu coat in the swearing of her stepmother and President Biden last week, he thought, “Wow, she’s communicating with fashion.”
Emhoff has a clear affinity for clothes; she is currently in her senior year at Parsons School of Design in New York, studying fine arts with a focus on textiles. She has also worked as an “intermittent” model in recent years at a smaller agency, according to the Times.
“As someone who, like many girls out there, had self-confidence issues, it’s intimidating and scary to enter this world that is hyperfocused on you and the body,” she said, promising to be “part of this change” as someone with “really weird tattoos. and a cool haircut ”.
