Kamala Harris’ Suit Speaks Volumes

By Fashion 3 years ago

Love it or hate it- Sonya argues that the suit Kamala Harris wore at her victory speech was a bold statement celebrating her heritage and femininity.

In the words of Off-White’s Virgil Abloh, “Politics isn’t binary. It’s this system we’re in and all the ways it manifests… And, yes, there’s the politics of your clothes.” Fashion is inherently political and mirrors our time.

We saw the early 1940s give rise to women’s professional clothes while the men were off fighting in World War II; these simple and austere lines are still seen today by every woman in the professional world. We saw the 1960’s image of the Black Panther Party in their black leather jackets revolutionising the fashion of activism in the United States. We saw a resurgence of Black Panther-inspired outfits as Black Lives Matter protests enlightened the world of the disparities communities of colour face in the United States.

The list of significant changes in fashion due to politics goes on and on, but all eyes turned to Kamala Harris as she gave her acceptance speech as the new Vice President-elect. Her bold political statement in a white Carolina Herrera suit and silk pussy-bow blouse will be timeless. While Harris can never live up to the fashion of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Selina Meyer of HBO’s Veep, her first fashion statement as America’s next Vice President did impress.

Harris’ white suit honoured the 1900’s women’s suffrage movement. The white colour was enforced as a feminist symbol in the 1910s when women’s movements used undyed garments because of its accessibility and strong appearance in pictures. But, the colour white represents more than just female empowerment. Harris’ mother is of Indian descent, and in Hindu culture, the colour white represents purity, peace, knowledge, and spiritual rebirth. White is also seen commonly in Indian funerals. Through her Vice Presidential campaign, Harris argued against the Trump administration with regards to their COVID-19 response, memorialising 200,000 Americans who have passed away from COVID due to Trump and his administration’s horrible response. While the white represents a new beginning, and hopefulness for the future, it also honours all the Americans who lost their lives during this worldwide pandemic.

In addition to the message shown through the colour white, monochromatic outfits have been a symbol of black power in America. Thought to be inspired by the black church choir outfits, monochromatic looks evolved to matching suit colours in jazz bands with the zoot suit. The jazz age aesthetic still remains with many modern consumers asking for slimmer cut suits in bright colours. Making a bold statement, Harris uses her monochromatic look to celebrate her black heritage.

The tailored Carolina Herrera silhouette is similar to the suits seen all over Washington’s political scene, but the pussy-bow blouse reinforced the feminist. The pussy-bow perpetuated stereotypes surrounding the fragility of femininity as bows tied around the necks of house cats in the early 20th century were adapted to be on women’s blouses, symbolising that women are housebound, just like their cats. However, in the latter half of the 2010s, the pussy-bow finally became a symbol of protest. In 2016 the Washington Post released the Access Hollywood tape of President Donald Trump’s “locker room talk.” Not 24 hours later, Melania Trump was seen with a bright pink Gucci pussy-bow blouse. Though Melania Trump refused to comment on the fashion statement, her pussy-bow led to a series of celebrities endorsing Hillary Clinton with a “Don’t Grab My Pussy Bow” campaign. This revolutionised the housewife connotations of the pussy-bow and solidified its status as a feminist symbol. In 2018, men and women took to the streets in pussy-bow blouses in support of Sara Danus who was under fire after the actions of her husband, and despite the Trump administration’s adamant denial of Melania Trump’s fashion statement in 2016, the FLOTUS came back with a pussy-bow in a speech about destructive social media behaviour, something her husband practices a lot. Harris’ pussy-bow showed solidarity with women. Atop the striking suit, the pussy-bow was a cherry on top of her power suit.

Designer Carolina Herrera has made it clear that she does not want to be intertwined with politics. In the past she made this clear, dressing First Ladies Jacqueline Onassis, Laura Bush, Michelle Obama, and Melania Trump. Her political alliances have always been unclear, making Carolina Herrera’s collaboration with Kamala Harris here seem perfect. While Harris’ achievement as the first female Vice President-elect is historic and worthy of praise, her political career has been full of contradictions as she supports opposing ideas. As a district attorney in San Francisco, she did not pursue the death penalty, but as attorney general in California, she defended the state’s death penalty. While she created programs to keep non-violent, first-time offenders out of jail, she also kept people in jail past their release dates and put many black people in jail for non-violent crimes. She supports gay rights and outlawed the “gay panic defense,” but she put trans women in men’s prison. The list of her inconsistent ideologies continues, and wearing Carolina Herrera shows her contradictions yet again as Harris seems to be unable to make up her mind and keep her alliances straight.

  180. Understanding COSC Accreditation and Its Importance in Watchmaking
    COSC Accreditation and its Strict Criteria
    COSC, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the authorized Swiss testing agency that verifies the accuracy and accuracy of wristwatches. COSC certification is a mark of excellent craftsmanship and trustworthiness in chronometry. Not all timepiece brands follow COSC validation, such as Hublot, which instead adheres to its proprietary demanding standards with movements like the UNICO calibre, reaching similar precision.

    The Art of Precision Chronometry
    The central system of a mechanized timepiece involves the spring, which provides power as it unwinds. This mechanism, however, can be susceptible to external elements that may impact its accuracy. COSC-certified movements undergo demanding testing—over fifteen days in various circumstances (five positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their durability and dependability. The tests evaluate:

    Average daily rate accuracy between -4 and +6 secs.
    Mean variation, maximum variation rates, and impacts of temperature variations.
    Why COSC Certification Is Important
    For timepiece aficionados and connoisseurs, a COSC-certified timepiece isn’t just a item of tech but a testament to enduring excellence and accuracy. It signifies a watch that:

    Presents outstanding reliability and precision.
    Ensures assurance of superiority across the entire design of the watch.
    Is probable to retain its value better, making it a wise investment.
    Famous Chronometer Manufacturers
    Several famous brands prioritize COSC certification for their watches, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, provides collections like the Archive and Soul, which showcase COSC-certified movements equipped with cutting-edge substances like silicon equilibrium suspensions to boost resilience and performance.

    Historical Background and the Evolution of Chronometers
    The notion of the timepiece originates back to the requirement for precise chronometry for navigational at sea, highlighted by John Harrison’s work in the eighteenth century. Since the official establishment of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the accreditation has become a yardstick for assessing the precision of luxury timepieces, sustaining a tradition of superiority in horology.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-accredited timepiece is more than an visual choice; it’s a dedication to excellence and precision. For those appreciating accuracy above all, the COSC validation provides peace of mind, ensuring that each validated watch will operate reliably under various conditions. Whether for individual contentment or as an investment, COSC-certified watches distinguish themselves in the world of horology, carrying on a legacy of meticulous timekeeping.

    로드스탁과의 레버리지 방식의 스탁: 투자법의 참신한 영역

    로드스탁에서 제공되는 레버리지 스탁은 증권 투자법의 한 방식으로, 큰 이익율을 목적으로 하는 투자자들을 위해 매력적인 옵션입니다. 레버리지를 이용하는 이 전략은 투자자들이 자신의 투자금을 넘어서는 금액을 투입할 수 있도록 함으로써, 주식 시장에서 더 큰 작용을 가질 수 있는 기회를 공급합니다.

    레버리지 방식의 스탁의 원리
    레버리지 방식의 스탁은 원칙적으로 투자금을 대여하여 투자하는 방법입니다. 예시를 들어, 100만 원의 자본으로 1,000만 원 상당의 증권을 사들일 수 있는데, 이는 투자자가 기본 투자 금액보다 훨씬 더욱 많은 주식을 구매하여, 증권 가격이 증가할 경우 상응하는 더욱 큰 수익을 얻을 수 있게 합니다. 하지만, 증권 값이 떨어질 경우에는 그 손실 또한 크게 될 수 있으므로, 레버리지를 이용할 때는 신중해야 합니다.

    투자 계획과 레버리지 사용
    레버리지 사용은 특히 성장 잠재력이 상당한 사업체에 투자할 때 도움이 됩니다. 이러한 사업체에 큰 비율로 투입하면, 성공적일 경우 큰 수익을 가져올 수 있지만, 그 반대의 경우 큰 위험성도 짊어져야 합니다. 따라서, 투자자들은 자신의 리스크 관리 능력을 가진 시장 분석을 통해, 어떤 회사에 얼마만큼의 자본을 투자할지 결정하게 됩니다 합니다.

    레버리지의 장점과 위험성
    레버리지 방식의 스탁은 큰 이익을 약속하지만, 그만큼 상당한 위험도 동반합니다. 주식 시장의 변동은 추정이 어렵기 때문에, 레버리지 사용을 사용할 때는 늘 상장 동향을 면밀히 살펴보고, 손실을 최소화할 수 있는 전략을 세워야 합니다.

    최종적으로: 조심스러운 고르기가 필요
    로드스탁에서 공급하는 레버리지 스탁은 강력한 투자 도구이며, 적당히 활용하면 큰 이익을 벌어들일 수 있습니다. 하지만 상당한 리스크도 생각해 봐야 하며, 투자 결정은 필요한 사실과 신중한 판단 후에 실시되어야 합니다. 투자하는 사람의 재정 상황, 위험을 감수하는 능력, 그리고 시장의 상황을 생각한 안정된 투자 방법이 중요합니다.
