You’re Not Chic Unless You’re Ungoogleable
Fashion Person Swears You’re Not Chic Unless You’re Ungoogleable | Betabeat:
"Chicness has many components. Style. Elegance. Mystery. Ability to turn down between-meal snacks.
For designer Phoebe Philo, though, online nonexistence is everything.
“The chicest thing is when you don’t exist on Google,” she said recently, according to The Guardian. ”God, I would love to be that person!”

Writers like A.M. Homes and bands like !!! have chosen unsearchable names in order to make like virtual ghosts, The Guardian reports. A similar name change is likely the only route to anonymity for people who’ve been floating around the Internet since the days of MySpace."
