Behind each of this year’s winning projects, from an app that helps resettle political refugees to a massive restoration project in Detroit, is a team of people who challenged themselves to solve big problems. Their brilliant work resulted in a vast array of projects, products, and ideas that represent some of the best design work of the year.

For the past 248 years, the United States has been governed by 44 white men and one Black man all of whom wore dark suits. This has profoundly—and subliminally—shaped what we think power should look like in this country. Kamala Harris, if elected, could transform our notions of power. As a woman of South Asian and Black heritage, her face alone will stand apart from those that came before her. But in this essay I argue that she can also use her clothing to assert other aspects of her identity. There an argument that clothes aren’t important at a time when democracy is at stake. But image matters mightily in politics. And her sartorial choices could help us reimagine what power looks like and pave the way for other minorities to ascend positions of power. 🥥 Rather than just co-opting the masculine uniform, she could wear garments that read more feminine. This would normalize the notion that a woman can govern. 🥥 What if she occasionally wore garments that reflect her parent’s cultures. What if she showed up in a sari, or in textiles from the Caribbean? This would normalize the notion that America is a land of diversity and a child of immigrants can govern. 🥥 Ultimately, the goal is to arrive at a place where it doesn’t matter at all what she wears. A place where Americans are able to pick their leaders based on their policies without being biased by gender and race. We’re not there yet though. So clothes still have a role to play.
Kamala Harris has already perfected the pantsuit. Now's her chance to change what power looks like
