But with Harris, who used her acceptance speech to credit the women who came before her – “I stand on their shoulders” – the choice to wear white at that moment was even more notable. “Given this and the way that the colour white is historically associated with civil rights and early feminist protest, Harris’s white suit signalled the essence of intersectionality that we hope she will bring into the policies she champions in her role as vice president.” It’s not just Harris’s formalwear that is important. “Harris, however, had made a very shrewd decision by casting off this traditionally ‘feminine’ look in favour of something more relaxed.” Jeans and Converse trainers are also two of the most well-known aesthetic totems in American culture, representing both authenticity and integrity. Wintour explained that, when it came down to a choice between the final cover and an image of Harris in a blue suit, the team decided that a “less formal” portrait would better reflect the moment and Harris’s “accessible and real” approach to politics.
