The Fashion of Google in Marie Claire
The latest issue of Marie Claire, which my wife gets, has a big spring fashion feature shot on Google’s Mountain View campus. The 12-page spread features model Britni Standwood on a roof in front of giant Google letters and solor panels, a giant Google Earth globe, an aluminum foil-decorated office, scootering around the grounds, near the lap pool, in a sleep pod, on an electric car, in a “huddle room” and by a dry-erase board.
Here are some low-fi images of the magazine spread:
There is also a page featuring the women of Google, specifically (from left to right):
- Shona Brown (Senior VP of business operations) in a $320 Calvin Klein pantsuit jacket and $276 pants
- Sukhinder Singh (President of Asia-Pacific and Latin America operations) in a $950 Boss jacket, $225 Theory pants and $745 Manolo Blahnik shoes
- Megan Smith (VP of new business development) in a $374 jacket and $282 Chaiken pants
- Francoise Brougher (VP of business operations) in a $148 Calvin Klein jacket and $250 Tigal Azrouel scarf
- Susan Wojcicki (VP of product management and Sergey’s sister-in law) in a $435 jacket, $385 Tory Burch dress and $540 Casadei shoes
- Marissa Mayer (VP of search products and user experience) in a $396 Chaiken jacket, $68 Cosabella camisole, $250 Tory Burch skirt and $850 Chanel shoes
Lest you think this is how the women of Google dress every day, Marie Claire only priced out the clothes it provided. When the exec wore her own clothes, like Brown and Smith’s shoes, it was noted, without the cost or designer (and, oddly, those were the most prominent shoes in the photo). As Valleywag’s Owen Thomas says, “I’ve known Megan Smith for years, and cannot recall ever seeing her wearing something that was not (a) made of denim and (b) priced at less than $100″.
Her shoes seem nice, though, being a heterosexual male, I really don’t know much about shoes.
Anyway, Marie Claire’s profile of the women is here and Neil Kirk’s Googleplex photoshoot can be seen here.
