Luxury designer brands have always played a role in presidential elections, but is their involvement a moral co-sign or sartorial obligation?
On January 20, in Washington, DC, the inauguration for Donald J. Trump’s second presidential term commenced.

Historically, the fashion choices of presidents, vice presidents, and their first and second ladies have been regarded as integral pieces of the picture each presidency is painting.
But after several contentious years in politics, including the recent Trump-Vance 2024 campaign, many onlookers have laid out their distaste for designers choosing to dress the incoming presidential party. The Oscar de la Renta Instagram account posted Usha Vance’s inauguration look to its page and received a ton of backlash for choosing to dress the second lady, who is decidedly attached to the Trump-Vance administration and all of their prospective policies.
