Because a Vogue newspaper provoked a scandal in tornado in Kamala Harris

Although it’s easy to see what’s happening in Washington DC, it’s less time, it’s a filter of the magazine Vogue with the Vice President-elect Kamala Harris provoked an inexperienced alboroto.

The February issue presents Harris with an Donald Deal dark jacket, adjusted trousers, Converse tennis and his collar of characteristic pearls. It’s about a green colored background divided by a pink curtain, colors that evoke the home of the Howard University. It seems that the captors are lying with the men at the altar of the belt.

The image fue tomada by Tyler Mitchell, who, in 2018, converts to the first black photographer to photograph a portrait of Vogue (with Beyoncé) and is known for its slightly affected aesthetics. Although Gabriella Karefa-Johnson received the credit as the editor of the sessions, it was also known as the editor of fashion and cargo, Harris eligió y usó su propia ropa. The photo selected is definitely elegant. A little desalinated. The light is a little favorite. The effect is quite small worth of Vogue. “Irrespective” was the most widely used word in social media.

Mientras comenzaba la tormenta de opiniones, Vogue published another Harris formal retreat with a Michael Kors Collection trajectory featuring a star-studded banner in the solapa, the brazos crucified with a front-of-the-line power pose, a digital door.

The journalist Yashar Ali wrote that it was the portraiture that the Harris team had hoped for, and that, like the internet commentators, they were not content with the more casual version. Look at that Vogue estaba actuando de mala fe.

Sondeverbod, according to the people who know the rule, both photographs have been added by antemano, since the ropa hasta fondone phones. However, although the retreat has been considered the “gateway” (as in the reviews is the name of the gateway, but not definitive) and the tome de pie fue conceda as the interior photography, Vogue has not obtained any type of contractual approval of the port of Harris. This means that Harris’ team did not attend the final election, which was conducted by Vogue, and I do not know that the magazine decided to exchange the photographs.

Harris’ team did not comment on what happened. The magazine published a statement: “On the team of Vogue The song contains images that Tyler Mitchell shares and feels that the most informal image captures the authentic and accessible nature of Vice President Elect Harris. We believe that this is one of the distinguishing cells of the governor of Biden and Harris ”.

Tienen razón, pero a la vez no.

Harris quiz is authentic and accessible, but it is also about converting to the second most powerful person in the country. And now, the country is in the midst of a crisis and desperately needs authority and reliability. Harris also has a history of being the First Vice President, Negro First Vice President and First Vice President of Ascension.

It is, if imported, that during Biden’s goberno, a participant who changed history, only to be on a pedestal. And although Harris is not Washington’s first politician to be sold at the port of Vogue United States, it is the primary function of electrics in hacerlo. This means that the gate is automatically a collection point. The image is part of the visual register of the country.

If so, while Vogue may have imagined his election as a reflection on the modernity of times, his decision also contravened the transcendence of the occasion. Quizá was pleased that Harris was part of a new type of governing body, but it was followed by the authorities.

Vogue también is an authority, lo cual is probably part of the reason why Harris accepted salir in his portada in first place.

The help inevitably has to be the object of a more profound scrutiny, which complicates the most debilitating historical disagreement that Vogue has withheld respect for the race. See the public notice regarding the editor of the revista, Anna Wintour, and the relationship he had with the color staff. The previous stories presented by black women like the Olympic gymnast Simone Biles caused the public to criticize the lack of black photos and do not try to use the light to photograph the black women (a theme that also surpassed with respect to Harris). All of these, filtered through the optics of the systemic racism in this country, guarantee that the retreat that Harris’ magazine has been specially plagued by controversies.

Antes de Harris, by supuesto, hube mujeres com Michelle Obama (tres portadas de Vogue) y Hillary Clinton (la primera prima dam que apéparation en la portada de Vogue), aunque no Melania Trump election result, appearance at the end of Vogue with his Dior Novia dress in 2005). Sin embargo, todas ellas eran primeras damas cuando aparecieron en Vogue; su trabajo era, en parte, ser el lado accessible to the president. Fashion is an increasingly accepted part of this papel.

And even the gate of Vogue is not the first portrayal of Harris’ fashion show — also posted by Elle durante la campña—, sí is his first port of call since being certified as the next Vice President. The style has always played a complicated role in the imagination of the public when it comes to our elected officials, from the history of the use of clothing as a form of society to women. It’s only hace that has more things in play.

This is a very extreme reaction to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s photo shoot in Vanity Fair. The New York Congregation has been criticized with a bit of hysteria for posing with branded cars like Loewe and Carolina Herrera. Mitchell, the quiz is not casual). Politicians have been accused of being airborne and seduced by the elites associated with fashion.

And this can be the reason why world leaders like Angela Merkel and Theresa May avoid the theme completely. Also, the reason given by Harris does not respond to the call that usa and the designers have made that he also refrains from commenting. Además, is the reason for that, in the long article by Alexis Okeowo that accompanies the portada of Vogue, casi does not mention fashion. (Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand’s Prime Minister) is an extraordinary exception, appearing in a speech at the British edition of Forces for change de Vogue, but was photographed in white and black and around).

Without embarrassment, we are very interested in the images that transmit our books and models of behavior, and this is influential in our own understanding of how authority and identity evolve. Harris’ election is personal to many. Any person who is interested in taking a personal look. And although we are not content with this or with the reaction, we would like to reveal much of what we import as well.
