Aleksandrija Okasio Kortez je najistaknutija američka političarka sa socijalističkim uverenjima - zato su joj mnogi zamerili kada se nedavno na naslovnici magazina pojavila u preskupom belom odelu.

Ona je pravo osveženje na američkoj političkoj sceni, a redovno je na meti republikanaca. Ovoga puta, dobila je oštre kritike da nije postupila etično kada se pojavila u skupoj dizajnerskoj odeći na naslovnici časopisa „Vanity fair“.

Mnogi misle da se to direktno kosi sa njenim političkim stavovima – Aleksandrija se predstavlja kao demokratska socijalistkinja, a njeno političko delovanje usmereno je ka radničkoj klasi.

„AOC na naslovnici Vanity Fair-a. Procenjuje se da njena odeća košta 14.000 dolara. Srećna sam što vidim da AOC podržava davno uspostavljenu licemernu tradiciju socijalista koji veruju da je socijalizam za siromašne dok oni uživaju u plodovima kapitalizma“, napisala je oštar komentar Sunanda Vašišt, politička analitičarka.

AOC on the cover of Vanity Fair. The clothes are estimated to cost $14,000. So happy that AOC is upholding the long established hypocritical tradition of Socialists who believe Socialism is for poor while they enjoy the fruits of Capitalism. pic.twitter.com/g8iTa1my1q

Međutim, brzo je otkriveno da Aleksandrija Okasio Kortez nije zapravo kupila ovo odelo njujorškog brenda Aliétte, kao ni drugu dizajnersku odeću koju je nosila na ostalim fotografijama u magazinu. U pitanju su brendovi Loewe, Christian Louboutin, Carolina Herrera – a vrednost svih komada u kojima se pojavila procenjuje se na 14.000 dolara. Ali, sve što je nosila je zapravo pozajmljeno za potrebe editorijala.

Of the many knocks on @AOC, one of the most prevailing is that she drives the political conversation but lacks a substantive coalition in Congress. “They’re four people and that’s how many votes they got,” Nancy Pelosi once quipped of Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib. But the Squad, as those four women are known, have been a “gift from God,” Ocasio-Cortez says—and the potential addition of Cori Bush from Missouri, Marie Newman of Illinois, and fellow New Yorkers Jamaal Bowman and Mondaire Jones to the House would mean “the Squad just doubled up,” Bowman says. Rounding out this “Squad-plus” are Nebraska’s Kara Eastman and current Illinois representative Chuy García, with Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Ed Markey (“Tío Markey”) as Senate allies. “You keep telling me I’m just four votes,” AOC says, “so I’mma go get more.” Read the full cover story at the link in bio.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez finds power in her iconic red lipstick—Stila’s Stay All Day Liquid in Beso, to be specific. In fact, she notably delivered her political dunk against Ted Yoho in her trademark red. Afterward, Rep. Ayanna Pressley said to her: “‘You know how I know you showed up to do business? Because you matched your lip with your suit,’” Ocasio-Cortez recalls. “[Ayanna] was like, ‘That’s when I knew she didn’t come to play.’” And now, @AOC acknowledges that she had, in fact, come to the floor in bold colors to give herself a little extra confidence. “I had a little war paint on that day, for sure.” Read the cover story at the link in bio.

Baš zbog toga što je inače praksa da se skupi dizajnerski komadi pozajmljuju od strane magazina, čini se da su kritike upućene najmlađoj američkog kongresmenki ipak neosnovane. Mnogi su je branili rekavši da socijalizam ne traži od ljudi da se zavetuju na siromaštvo – već je to više uverenje da svi zaslužuju da imaju lepe stvari, umesto samo jedan procenat stanovništva. Ona je i sama napisala da se republikanci pretvaraju da ne znaju da skupa odeća zapravo ne postaje njeno vlasništvo nakon fotografisanja.

The whole “she wore clothes in a magazine, let’s pretend they’re hers” gimmick is the classic Republican strategy of “let’s willfully act stupid, and if the public doesn’t take our performative stupidity seriously then we’ll claim bias.”

GOP, get yourselves together. It’s sad.

Ovo takođe nije prvi put da odeća ove političarke izaziva negativne reakcije javnosti. 2018. godine, nakon što je magazin Interview objavio fotografije kongresmenke u odelu i štiklama Manolo Blanik, što je ukupno koštalo 3.500 dolara, prozivali su je da je neko ko se pretvara da je „uz narod“, dok nosi odelo koje košta kao nečija višemesečna kirija.

Ranije ove godine kritikovana je zbog izbora haljine koju je nosila televiziji, zbog čega je morala da objasni da iznajmljuje svoju odeću i da je često kupuje u second-hand radnjama.

Yep! I rent, borrow, and thrift my clothes. (It’s also environmentally sustainable!) ?

The Post is just mad that you can look good fighting for working families.

Sequins are a great accessory to universal healthcare, don’t you agree? ✨? https://t.co/xdQ65lbpXe
