Ella frequently shares her rainbow-coloured knitwear creations on Instagram, writing: 'Starting to get hot y’all. That means knit shorts.' Instagram

As well as knitting, Ella Emhoff has also expressed her love of crochet, sharing this photo of a 'Granny square house coat', writing: 'If this jacket didn’t take a million hours to make I would make one in every colour.' Instagram

The student has been nicknamed the 'First Daughter of Bushwick', which is the area of New York where she lives, near trendy Williamsburg. Instagram

This look proved to be a favourite with Ella Emhoff, as she wrote of the top and jeans combo: 'My new uniform that I wear inside because we should all be staying inside.' Instagram

Proving herself quite the style chameleon, Ella opted to blow dry her natural curls straight to appear in a video at the Democratic National Convention in August 2020. AFP

For her fine arts degree with a focus on textiles at the Parsons School of Design in New York, Ella Emhoff created this dress, writing on Instagram: 'Hand knit rib dress. Welcome to me trying to make knitwear in my fine arts major.' Instagram

The student opted for some 1980s-style prom wear, plus tiara, to enjoy some fast food, writing: 'Fried chicken joes burgers are really good." Instagram

For dressed down days, Ella favours denim, flat boots and a simple black vest, along with a knitted beanie which she made herself, admitting they are among the most difficult items of clothing to make. Instagram

For an art show to show off her work, the student wore jeans, pink crepe-soled shoes and a striped, knitted cardigan she made herself. Instagram

Like any New Yorker during the winter, comfort comes first, even for internationally acclaimed trendsetters. Instagram

The student was keen to show off her knit trousers, writing: 'First pants ever on my new machine using superwash merino. From now on I’m only wearing knit pants.' She has also said she is available to accept commissions. Instagram

For her fine arts degree, Ella Emhoff has not only mastered knitting, but also crochet. 'Learned how to crochet after trying for like five years,' she revealed to her followers. Instagram

Proving that she favours styles that can multi-task, Ella debuted a bag she made on Instagram, which she said can also double as a hat. Instagram

The news that US Vice President Kamala Harris's stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff, has recently signed up with IMG Models – the agency which represents Hailey Bieber, Chrissy Teigen, Paris Jackson and Bella and Gigi Hadid – has sparked global fashion interest in the "First Daughter of Bushwick's" style.

Thanks to the jewel-encrusted Miu Miu coat she wore to the inauguration, the world's fashion spotlight has become fixed firmly on the fine arts student, 21, who regularly shows off her eclectic style on Instagram.

Seamlessly navigating the sartorial waters between high fashion, vintage, high street and handmade, Emhoff incorporates her own pieces into her look, which she knits and crochets as part of her textiles and apparel degree at the Parsons School of Design. Her "First Daughter of Bushwick" nickname comes from the neighbourhood of Bushwick, where she currently lives.

"Ella communicates this moment in time. There's a cheekiness and a joy she exudes," IMG Models president Ivan Bart told the The New York Times. And Emhoff herself has admitted to Vogue: "Amongst Dr Biden and Kamala and Meena [Harris] and me, I guess there is kind of some anticipation about what we're going to put out there in terms of fashion."

And Emhoff has certainly been putting her personal style out there. Pay a visit to her Instagram page and her love of knitwear becomes very clear from photos of an array of knitted trousers, shorts, dresses and bikini tops. She's also a big fan of crocheting, showing off her skills by making hats and jackets.

Speaking to Garage before the inauguration about whether she would like to wear one of her own designs to the swearing in ceremony, she said: "I want to, but like I was saying before, my style and my practice are so different, but I think I might have to just make an exception because for such a momentous occasion, I think it does require a pretty momentous outfit."

And step up to the fashion plate for the momentous occasion she did, watching her stepmother (or "Momala" as she and her brother Cole call the VP) in a Miu Miu coat, under which she wore a burgundy dress by New York designer Batsheva. And prior to the big day, she had been photographed alongside her mother Kerstin, and Cole, wearing head to toe Thom Browne, in a striped pleated skirt, button-down shirt and tie.
