Vogue Has Wardrobe Suggestions for Edward Snowden’s Girlfriend Because of Course
Have you ever looked at the case of Edward Snowden — fighting against mass surveillance, worried that every word you say has been recorded, wondering if you can ever go back to your normal life — and wondered: Yes, but what would I wear?
Thanks to Vogue, you too can attempt to dismantle the US government’s mass surveillance — in style! (But only if you’re a woman. And only if you have a lot of money.) Check out this mood board collection based on Lindsay Mills, Snowden’s girlfriend who moved to Moscow to be with him last year, because Vogue actually did this.
“Considering the whipsaw of a change in culture (let alone climate), and the bevy of street style stars sprung from Russia, we thought it only fair to offer the recent transplant some fashion advice,” says the worst attempt at promoting Citizenfour, the new documentary about the Snowden leaks, into the moneyed pages of Vogue:
For a discreet stroll around Moscow, we think Mills would do best to embrace her adopted countrymen’s fondness for fur—and a touch of Bonnie Parker panache—in a camouflage look from Valentino. (A fur-lined coat will fit the bill as a closet staple for more casual occasions.) And should she ever feel homesick? A bold pop of color from Missoni and Matthew Williamson paired with a hibiscus dial watch from Versace should have Mills feeling right at home, regardless of the terrain ahead.
Look at stylish mass surveillance clothings here, and groan that the “On the Run” mood board involves a camo-print sweater.
