In the last few months, a trend has emerged: The wardrobes of Washington, D.C’s most powerful women are inspiring the type of excited fashion interest that was previously reserved for celebrities or style influencers. After Kamala Harris wore Timberland boots(with pearls) search for the shoes increased on search fashion platform, while demand for the brand rose as compared to the week before.

More examples like – Hillary Clinton style statement with her powersuits hitting headlines across the world and US politician Rep. Alexandria Ocasia Cortez showed her Telfar bag on Instagram. The fashion platform is not the first to use the word “influencer” to describe a political figure.

Once, The New York Times ran an article titled “Cuomo, Fauci, Birx: The New Influencers,” in which it talked about the public’s fascination with White House.

Recently, Elle (worldwide lifestyle magazine) puplished an article, “How politicians Became 2020’s Biggest Fashion Influencers,” leaving no doubt that political leaders have become figures to watch for elegant choices. It’s not entirely surprising, fashion and politics go hand-in-hand. In fact, the statement “fashion is political” has been used so often – including, recently, when referencing Nancy Pelosi’s matching masks and pantsuits – it has become a cliche.

 One of the most iconic women in American history, Michelle Obama was always very concerned about her fashion sense. She never plays game when it comes on her style. Not only has she been an icon since she stepped in the White House, but the former first lady was also serving up jaw-dropping looks back to back while promoting her book 'BECOMING'.

For many, it has been inspiring on an aesthetic level to see Nancy Pelosi(Speaker of US House of Rep.) embrace masks and make them into a fashion statement – which has since become a common sight on the political stage – before many of us discovered the fun of shopping for a face mask that could express our personal style.

White on white: On the runway, on the street, even in the White House, fashion is bleaching it out as women wear all white ensembles to make a statement. White can make a fashion statement as well as a political one.
