The second daughter has a new role.
Ella Emhoff, the 21-year-old stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris and daughter of Doug Emhoff, has signed with IMG Models.
After announcing that inaugural poet Amanda Gorman was making 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’s not really about shape, size or gender anymore,” Ivan Bart, IMG Models president, told the New York Times. Ella communicates this moment in time. There is a cheek and a joy she radiates. “
He added that when he saw Ella wearing a glittering Miu Miu coat at the inauguration of her stepmother and President Biden last week, he thought, “Wow, she communicates fashion.”
Emhoff has a clear affinity with clothing; she is currently a senior at the Parsons School of Design in New York, where she studies visual arts with a focus on textiles. She has also worked “on and off” with a smaller agency in recent years, according to the Times.
“As someone who, like many young girls out there, was confident, it’s intimidating and terrifying to enter this world that is hyper-focused on you and the body,” she said, pledging that change ‘as someone with’ really weird tattoos. and a kind of funky hairstyle ‘.
