Ella Emhoff’s DNC Dress

Joelle Mentis, Contributor

There is something so refreshing about Vice President, and possibly future President, Kamala Harris’s family. At the top of that list is her stepdaughter Ella Emhoff, who is the epitome of a modern young woman. By both her appearance and her well-spoken prose, Ella Emhoff is not afraid to express herself. So it’s no surprise that Ella Emhoff’s DNC dress was as unique as she is.

Ella Emhoff’s Style

Her style is already making statements as she doesn’t play it safe. Ella Emhoff is pretty much the opposite of a cookie-cutter Lily Pulitzer Stepford daughter. Instead her clothing is an express of who she is; quirky, fearless and modern. Since the start of the DNC, she’s made fresh choices. There was the Helmut Lang top the first evening of the DNC that did not hide her tattoos. Then there was a Thom Browne suit that could have been professional Barbie but instead was retro cool. However for the historic moment when Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the nomination for President at the DNC in Chicago, Ella Emhoff made a choice that’s so her. In lieu of a couture designer, Ella Emhoff’s DNC dress was made by another trailblazer: Joe Ando.

Who is Joe Ando?

If you don’t know Joe Ando you don’t spend nearly enough time scrolling through social media. Don’t call him the TikTok guy, though he has over 2 million followers. Joe Ando is also on Instagram, and he is pure hours of entertainment and joy. So it’s only befitting that a Presidential campaign that is based upon joy, would have something of Joe Ando’s part of the historical night. As one of Joe Ando’s many talents, he’s also been known to make his effortlessly cool girlfriends unique dresses. He works old school, where he sews the dresses by hand. It’s almost like he freestyles the clothing he makes, which is like a combination of Snow White meets Bushwick. He was a dark horse designer though for Ella Emhoff’s DNC dress, but that’s what we like about it most.
