Where's the BRAT in Kamala Harris' Campaign Wardrobe?

ISABELLA XU

Image-wise, Kamala Harris’s campaign has all but tapped into the fervor of youth. 

​

Neon green edits of her laughing face flash to pop-star Charli XCX’s hit album, BRAT; her merchandising team even released a “Harris-Walz” camo baseball cap reminiscent of breakout artist Chappell Roan’s tour merch. Down to the bold, bright orange text, it’s clear that the Harris campaign wishes to seem “down with the youth” (as I imagine Harris would say). 

​

But Harris herself doesn’t seem to have adapted quite as quickly. In the presidential debate, she sported none of the bright colors featured so heavily in her campaign’s internet presence. Instead, Harris arrived dressed in a black power-suit and white blouse. Such attire aligned with the image she’s cultivated over the past four years in office: traditionally masculine looks and sleek silhouettes, coupled with conservative navy, black, and purple colorways. 

​

So why hasn’t Harris’s wardrobe adopted the youth culture that the rest of her campaign has?

Style vs. Sustainability

ELSA LAGERCRANTZ

As a member of F@B for over two years, as well as a fashion fan my entire life, I’ve written creative articles, walked in shows and tried out numerous trends. However, I’m consecutively haunted by the notion of a ticking clock, reminding me of our generation's greatest challenge — the ever-prevalent climate crisis. The destruction of our environment from over-consumption and carbon dioxide is evident and the fashion industry plays a significant role, subsequently begging the question: what responsibility lies on the individual versus the industry?
