The tattered shoes that Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., wore down as she campaigned to unseat 10-term incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley in their June Democratic primary election are set to be displayed at an upcoming exhibition.

“We can’t think of a better example of fashion from the frontline: U.S. Representative-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York’s 14th district has loaned us her first pair of campaigning shoes,” the New York-based Cornell Costume and Textile Collection shared this week on Instagram, along with a photo of the footwear. “These shoes represent the hard work, dedication, determination, and commitment of the youngest woman ever elected to Congress.”
