WASHINGTON, DC – JANUARY 19: (L-R) Douglas Emhoff, U.S. Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, Dr. Jill Biden and U.S. President-elect Joe Biden look down the National Mall as lamps are lit to honor the nearly 400,000 American victims of the coronavirus pandemic at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool January 19, 2021 in Washington, DC. As the nation’s capital has become a fortress city of roadblocks, barricades and 20,000 National Guard troops due to heightened security around Biden’s inauguration, 400 lights were placed around the Reflecting Pool to honor the nearly 400,000 Americans killed by COVID-19.

2021 has already provided the fashion industry with the hope of new beginnings; among them Kamala Harris, America’s first female, first Black and first Asian-American Vice President. The Biden-Harris inauguration was not just an important day for politics, but a timely reminder of the symbolic power fashion holds, and the power of political figures to help establish new designers.

Harris, Michelle Obama and First Lady Jill Biden stepped out onto the world’s largest stage supporting Black American designers, making instant stars out of Christopher John Rogers, Pyer Moss, and Sergio Hudson, and cementing the administration’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity after a difficult year.
