The night before the news leaked that Hunter Biden was a newly married man, his trio of daughters — Naomi, 24, Finnegan, 19, and Maisy, 18 — were out in Washington supporting their aunt, Ashley Biden, alongside Jill Biden and Ashley’s husband, Howard Krein.
Ashley Biden — Hunter’s half-sister and the only child of the former vice president and his second wife, Jill — was being toasted at DC’s Hamilton Hotel, as she designed the newly renovated hotel staff’s uniforms and a hooded bathrobe for guests.
Ashley had previously launched a fashion nonprofit called Livelihood in 2017 and done a collaboration with Gilt. In March, she left her job at the Delaware Center for Justice to focus on Livelihood full-time. The organization sells “Livelihoodies” — designed by Ashley — giving part of the proceeds to local communities to use toward education, workforce development or job placement. She’s currently working on her second collection of hoodies.
“My dream is to continue hoodies and perfecting the hoodie — that’s American-made, that’s super cozy, functional and sleek. And also potentially a blazer, because my middle name is Blazer. It’s a family name. But I also love blazers. A blazer with a hoodie,” she told The Post at the party Tuesday night.
Her work on the hoodie line has kept Ashley away from the campaign trail thus far, but she said that would soon change. “Yes, in the future, in coming months,” said the potential first daughter. “I’m super busy right now and just focused on the second collection.”
She’s not currently designing anything for the campaign but said she’d use her fashion sense to alert her dad if any of the campaign merchandise was ugly.
“100%,” she said. “My nieces and I have already been on that,” she said, referencing Hunter’s three daughters who were at the fete. They were all smiles at the party. “We want to be on the design team for shirts. We’ve got some slogans that we want to use.”
