That includes former first lady Michelle Obama, who was widely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/article\/michelle-obama-balenciaga-glitter-knife-boots\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">praised<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/the-goods\/2018\/12\/20\/18150830\/michelle-obama-balenciaga-boots-becoming-first-lady-style\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wearing<\/a> $4,000 Balenciaga &#8220;thigh-high glitter boots&#8221; in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Emhoff&#8217;s modeling career mysteriously took off after her stepmom was elected vice president. She signed a <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/kamala-harris-nepotism-scandal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contract<\/a> with IMG Models in January 2021 just days after Harris and President Joe Biden were sworn into office, and walked the runway at her first fashion show that February. Emhoff&#8217;s second runaway appearance came during Paris Fashion Week in July 2021, where she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CRCJ03hlydY\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">modeled<\/a> the Balenciaga fall couture collection.<\/p>\n<p>Ivan Bart, president of IMG Models,\u00a0told the <em>New York Times\u00a0<\/em>that Emhoff exemplified how being a model is &#8220;not really about shape, size or gender anymore,&#8221; though some questioned whether there was anything particularly revolutionary about the rich, white, tall, and thin Brooklynite with tattoos and armpit hair.<\/p>\n<p>Bart, as it so happens, was an early max donor to Harris&#8217;s failed presidential campaign. IMG Models is part of an entertainment conglomerate run by Patrick Whitesell, who donated more than $150,000 to Democratic candidates and committees during the 2020 election cycle, and Ari Emanuel, brother of former Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel.<\/p>\n<p>Emhoff&#8217;s blatant efforts to parlay her stepmother&#8217;s influence into professional success have led some observers to label her as &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/ella-emhoff-mullet-scandal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hunter Biden 2.0<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Emhoff&#8217;s reps at IMG Models did not respond<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Balenciaga, the high-end fashion brand that helped launch the modeling career of Kamala Harris&#8217;s gender-defying stepdaughter Ella Emhoff, is under fire for an ad campaign featuring young children holding teddy bears dressed in leather bondage gear.<br \/>\nThe post Balenciaga Model Ella Emhoff Silent on Child Bondage Scandal appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":97,"featured_media":1754051,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1754048","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1754048","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/97"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1754048"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1754048\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1754051"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1754048"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1754048"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1754048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
