Ella Emhoff first turned heads at the Capitol—now she’s turning her fashion prowess into community building, one cross-stitch at a time. In this episode of "The Good Buy," the model, designer, and creative multi-hyphenate joins Harper’s BAZAAR to talk about her passion for knitwear, sustainable shopping habits, and the beauty of dressing with intention. Known as the "First Daughter of Bushwick," Ella first captivated the world’s attention with her Miu Miu Inauguration Day look, and has been challenging expectations ever since. Whether she’s blending handmade with high fashion or creating community through her NYC-based knit club, Ella is redefining what it means to live at the intersection of politics, art, and personal style. Whether she’s collecting novelty home decor (yes, we’re talking about that "Popeye" phone!) or scouring sample sales for runway looks, Ella proves that great style isn’t about playing it safe—it’s about leading with creativity, authenticity, and a little bit of chaos.
