Burdick said each designer was asked to incorporate the campaign’s theme and the issues they’re most passionate about. Aurora James, creative director of Brother Berries and founder of the Fifteen Percent Pledge, advocated for reproductive and voting rights with two pairs of ribbed socks. Her T-shirt, which read “America is an Idea,” spoke to how meaningful this election year is for James. “The most important issues for me this fall are unity and compassion,” James said. “For too long, people like me have been made to feel like we don’t belong here, but America belongs to all of us, and we’re all equal.”
When Biden announced he was dropping out of his reelection campaign on July 21, designers quickly pivoted to support the new candidate. “I’m absolutely thrilled by the idea of a broader human experience in the White House,” James said. “I firmly believe that an inclusive country is a stronger country, and I couldn’t be more excited to support Kamala Harris as she heads to the White House. She carries with her so many of our ideas and dreams about what America is and can be.”
Willy Chavarria and Vera Wang added their own “Kamala Harris 2024” designs to their familiar looks, while Victor Gremaud and Bettina Benson created pieces that spotlighted the campaign’s themes: Gremaud’s “We Won’t Back Down” and Bettina Benson’s “We Choose Freedom” struck a chord. Sergio Hudson and Jonathan Cohen both created “VOTE” sweatshirts, while Tory Burch, as she has done in the past, designed a “Vote Democracy” T-shirt. “Voting is an honor and a privilege. Democracy works best with everyone’s participation,” Burch told Vogue.
