The ultimate fashion ‘don’t’
Vice President Kamala Harris, who previously has received raves over her fashion choices (like no previous vice presidents) is receiving flak because of some of her recent clothes picks.
In recent days, she was photographed wearing Dolce & Gabbana outfits at the swearing-in of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and when getting her second COVID-19 vaccination.
While Harris has promised to make “racial justice” a priority, the Italian fashion house has been accused of racism and being politically incorrect since at least 2007. Among other things, the company had said it was against the idea of gay parents, had used earrings with colonial imagery of Black women, had promulgated a campaign with models brandishing knives and suffering from knife wounds, and had created social media videos with a Chinese woman attempting to eat spaghetti, pizza and cannoli with chopsticks.
Vittoria Vignone, who runs the website Kamala’s Closet, suggested the choice was “incredibly sloppy” but opined that the vice president simply may not have known about the controversy.
