Some might find this to be a bit strange. New York congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is loaning the pair of shoes that she wore out on the campaign trail to be part of an exhibition. Why wants to see her old, worn out shoes? Well, the Cornell Costume Collection believes that many will and they are including the shoes in their exhibition titled “Women Empowered: Fashions from the Frontline.”
The exhibition will open on December 6 and includes clothing that has empowered women. In June, during her campaign, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted “Here’s my 1st pair of campaign shoes. I knocked on doors until rainwater came through my soles. Respect the hustle. We won (because) we out-worked the competition. Period.”
Now you can see the shoes, and the hustle.
