Kamala Harris Faces Criticism For Wearing Controversial Brand Dolce & Gabbana
“Madame vice president-elect has a lot of work to do,” wrote fashion editor André Leon Talley of Kamala Harris’s polarising American Vogue cover. “And she is not thinking every day about how she is looking.” While Talley is absolutely correct on that point, it’s also true that what the Vice President wears is political – and fans aren’t too happy with her recent choice of a Dolce & Gabbana suit. It’s difficult enough being a women in politics and having your every move – and fashion choice – being much more heavily scrutinised than your male counterparts. Then, there’s the added pressure of representing such monumental, historical change. Although Harris has done well so far, she and her team aren’t going to ...
