Innholdsfortegnelse for July 2019 i ELLE

Sustainability is a buzzword in fashion, with a new eco-friendly label launching practically every week. But here at ELLE, it’s always been top of mind: Each month, we shine a light on the latest in conservation news. This month’s issue takes our coverage one step further, and also marks our first-ever partnership with Conservation International. (We can’t wait to celebrate with them and raise awareness at their star-studded summer gala in Los Angeles.) When deciding whom to feature on our four July covers, we sought out women who live at the intersection of style and substance—whose work in service of a better planet is as impressive as their runway résumés. From Gisele’s passion for the rain forest and Doutzen Kroes’s fight to protect elephant populations, to Naomi Campbell’s green humanitarian…

GABRIELA HEARST “I always look at sustainability as a practice,” says designer Gabriela Hearst. “It’s a complicated process, but you set goals for yourself.” Since the launch of her brand in 2015, Hearst has made a commitment to green luxury by crafting pieces from natural, biodegradable fibers. Her vision of eco-friendly high fashion has been a critical hit. In 2017, she took home the prestigious International Woolmark Prize (past winners include Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent). Other accolades followed, including, most recently, a minority investment from LVMH Luxury Ventures that will enable Hearst to further expand her sustainable vision—one that doesn’t end in the design studio. In addition to choosing eco-friendly fabrics and maintaining supply sources as close as possible to her manufacturing base, Hearst has embraced Tipa’s fully…

2–3 MONTHS SHORT PIXIE When Cara Delevingne wanted to take her hair long again after playing a cancer patient in Life in a Year, L.A. hairstylist and Mare Salon cofounder Mara Roszak stepped in. Roszak’s advice to those with hair like Delevingne’s: Avoid trims for the first few months to kick-start the grow-out, except for taming the sides and nape. If your style looks too puffy or frizzy, run a lightweight pomade or serum through it to give it some weight. 4–6 MONTHS LONG PIXIE “As the hair length and movement returns, the shape doesn’t just happen naturally,” Roszak says. “Ask your stylist to focus on the hairstyle without taking off too much length.” Continue to trim the nape and blend the sides with the back. That way, the front…

The global organic personal-care market is projected to be worth $25.1 billion by 2025. But with the corresponding rise in misleading labeling and dubious scientific claims, beauty products marketed as green, clean, and eco-friendly have a believability issue. Which is why we look to seals to certify a brand’s bona fides. But not every little logo measures up. Here, five eco-beauty seals that walk the walk. Cheat Sheet These seals verify conservation-minded beauty products. ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS, KEW With its 8.5 million plant and fungi species, the UK’s Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, is one of the most biodiverse places on earth. Its world-class scientists put plant extracts through forensic tests for quality and effcacy before awarding the Kew seal. Last year, Herbal Essences became the first U.S. hair-care brand to…

ZARIA FORMAN ARCTIC MESSENGER Zaria Forman saw her first glacier in 2007. She was 23, a recent grad of Skidmore’s studio art program who’d grown up just north of Manhattan in a home well stocked with paints, crayons, and charcoal sticks. That summer’s trip to western Greenland was one of many her family embarked on to the globe’s least-developed corners, courtesy of her mother, landscape photographer Rena Bass Forman. Seeing the towering glaciers of Ilulissat, some of which rivaled New York skyscrapers in stature, set Forman’s own artistic journey in motion. “It really opened my eyes to the climate crisis,” she says from her Brooklyn studio. “It’s arguably the largest crisis we face as a global society.” Forman, now 36, has spent the last 12 years visiting the polar regions,…

Fifty-nine years ago, Jane Goodall, an animal lover with no formal academic training, traveled to Gombe, Tanzania, to observe chimpanzees for famed anthropologist Louis Leakey. Within months, the 26-year-old witnessed a chimp extracting termites from a mound using long blades of grass, upending mankind’s very understanding of itself: Humans were no longer the only species to make tools, no longer unequivocally superior. She went on to discover that chimps, like humans, have complex social and familial hierarchies, sharp intelligence, and deep-seated wells of emotion. Goodall has spent the rest of her life devoted to conserving the world they live in, one that’s disappearing due to climate change and the interests of big business. “What we’re doing to the planet is shocking and irresponsible, and it’s all done for making money,”…

CANCER June 22–July 22 Your visionary powers are in overdrive this month, thanks to a rare solar eclipse in Cancer on July 2. Whether you’re designing a collection or plotting a trip to the Turkish Riviera, aim for the unprecedented. With amorous Venus in your sign for most of July, admirers will get in line. Watch out! Near the 16th, the queue could include an ex. LEO July 23–Aug 22 On July 1, energizer Mars blasts into your sign. Brainstorm behind the scenes until Leo season begins on the 23rd, then pivot to the front while prioritizing practicality and profit. For your public debut, consider the 31st, when Mercury ends its retrograde and the Leo new moon provides an optimal launching pad. Summer love feels like a fairy tale, but…

This spring in Paris, when Nike rounded up an inspiring roster of female athletes—including U.S. Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad, Olympic gold medal–winning gymnast Simone Biles, and former U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team member Brandi Chastain—to unveil the brand’s 2019 World Cup uniforms, the message wasn’t just one of girl power. Sustainability was also at the forefront. Nike has become the industry’s number one user of plastic bottles, which it transforms into a fine yarn to craft its uniforms and other apparel (each uniform kit contains at least 12 bottles’ worth). The Oregon sportswear giant has a decades-long history of being ahead of the curve when it comes to all things green. Back in 1994, the company began its Grind program, which turns used sneakers and surplus materials into running tracks,…

Ever since I could read, my time-honored method of dealing with any kind of uncertainty has been to flood the zone with data. Terrifying-seeming symptom? Hit the CDC website to convince myself it’s probably not an aneurysm in progress. Unfamiliar destination? Learn so much about the terrain that I could double as a local travel guide. But one patch of my anxiety quilt has gone unassuaged by this information-seeking compulsion, and that’s climate change. I’ve probably read more about the topic than anyone who doesn’t need to for her job. And with every article I read, book I devour, or haunting image of an emaciated polar bear or trash-gorged whale I see, I sink deeper into the quicksand of hopelessness. Then there’s the never-ending soundtrack that is my inner monologue:…

Tossing your empty products in the recycling bin isn’t as virtuous as you might think: Only 9 percent of the waste we’ve sent to be recycled has actually been recycled. According to a 2017 study by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the other 91 percent ends up in landfills or incinerated. This is due in part to a lack of infrastructure as well as general confusion about what is, in fact, recyclable. “There’s a reason recycle is last on the list ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,’” Kathryn Kellogg writes in her book 101 Ways to Go Zero Waste. “Everyone sees that recycle symbol with a number inside and thinks, ‘Oh, it’s recyclable,’ but it’s not necessarily,” she says. “You have to look up which types of plastic your local…

Tom Holland has nothing but love for all of earth’s living creatures. Except, ironically, for one. “You know, spiders are the one thing that creeps me out,” he says. And unfortunately, he’s had to encounter more than his fair share of fuzzy, shiver-inducing arachnids since being cast as Marvel’s latest Peter Parker. “Every [on-camera] interview I go on, they’re always like, ‘Will you hold this spider?’ And I will, but I don’t like it!” he says. With this month’s release of Spider-Man: Far From Home, Holland is marking his fourth spin as Spidey—and gearing up for all the promotional hijinks that go along with starring in a major summer blockbuster. Luckily for him, this is a magazine interview. And with no tarantulas in sight, the actor, 23, can let his…

Sadie Sink went vegetarian four years ago, at the age of 13, on a dare. “I watched the Food, Inc. documentary and was like, ‘This has opened my eyes to the meat industry—maybe I should go vegetarian.’ And my friend told me, ‘Sadie, you’re not gonna last a week.’ But I’m very competitive,” says the New Jersey–based actress. That’s a trait she shares with Max, the skateboarding, video-game-dominating character she plays on Netflix’s beloved sci-fi series Stranger Things, which returns for a third season on July 4. But according to Sink, that’s about all they have in common. “She’s a lot cooler than I am. When I’m playing Max, I get to be this badass, and then I realize I’m just Sadie,” she says with a laugh. “I’ve definitely taken…

THE RAIN FOREST DEFENDER GISELE BÜNDCHEN IS A PASSIONATE ADVOCATE FOR PROTECTING THE ECOSYSTEM OF HER NATIVE BRAZIL. GISELE BÜNDCHEN’S HOME IS LIKE A MINI-ECOSYSTEM: chicken coops, beehives, vegetable gardens, compost heaps. “I wanted my children to experience the same joy and connection to nature I did as a child,” says the supermodel and mother of two. “Activist” gets tacked on to a lot of job descriptions these days, but Bündchen was impassioned about the environment long before it was cool. She credits her Brazilian upbringing—she hails from the small town of Horizontina—with her appreciation of nature, and a 2004 trip to the country’s Xingu region with her eco-awakening. She stayed there with the Kisêdjê tribe and “got to see first-hand the problems they were facing because of the pollution…

Anyone who thinks the fashion industry doesn’t care about climate change would have done well to drop in at the Collina Strada show at New York Fashion Week in February. Models walked the runway wearing a collection made from 75 percent dead-stock (surplus) fabric, accompanied not by a thudding bass but by a rousing speech from the teenage environmental activist Xiuhtezcatl Martinez. The beads on the clothes came from recycled ocean plastic, a collaboration with the organization 4Ocean. For designer Hillary Taymour, the event presented an opportunity to publicly reckon with how she and her peers have fallen short when it comes to sustainability. Fashion brands’ green initiatives can often come across as lip service: While the claim that the industry is the second-most-polluting in the world has been debunked,…

FRANCISCO COSTA Last winter, former Calvin Klein creative director Francisco Costa pivoted industries, launching the artisanal skin care and home fragrance brand Costa Brazil. The sustainable line attracted instant cult fanfare, and now the second round of products is ready for a summer rollout. The new star item: a concentrated body cream without any added water. “The only water that’s in the cream is from the juice of the ingredients, which is a very beautiful way of doing it,” he says. This allows the main ingredients, like tucuma seed oil and orange blossom, to remain more active. To get the formula just right, Costa revised it about 50 times. “I think the beauty industry has taught me a little bit more patience, to take your time to do something,” he…

When Glossier started selling face mist and skin tint in 2014, a devoted fan base was born almost overnight. Loyalists commented on images of Glossier’s highlighters and cream eye shadows with all the zeal of a real-life bestie: “Dreeeeeamyyy.” “J’adore.” “Stunning.” But this past March, Glossier and its BFFs had a bit of a falling-out. The brand launched a bright makeup line called Play, and the negative pile-on was swift. Play’s Glitter Gelee, a gel pot of paillettes designed to make your eyelids sparkle like disco balls, caused outcries against the non-biodegradable glitter. Eye pencils that arrived individually wrapped in foil and then boxed led to laments about excessive packaging. As one commenter, Elise from Canada, put it, “This kind of thing is not acceptable when there are so many…

It’s midmorning at the farmers’ market in Greensboro, North Carolina, and Hope Solo, the former goalkeeper of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team, stands by a table full of pansies. Over the course of her career, she’s been called the most controversial female athlete alive, won gold in two Olympics and one World Cup, and spoken out frequently about women’s equality. Today, though, her concerns are more prosaic. She wants flowers to plant under the flagpole on the 50-acre property where she lives with her husband, former NFL player Jerramy Stevens. “We need way more than this,” she says, moving on. “Jerramy’s going to be so disappointed.” The market is spread across a few large open-air enclosures. There are booths filled with fruits and funnel cakes, older couples holding hands,…

In our May 2000 issue, we documented then up-and-comer Gisele Bündchen in her element in the season’s relaxed swimwear and separates at a friend’s São Paolo beach house. Since then, Bündchen, one of this month’s cover stars (page 106), has made it her mission to preserve such unspoiled locations in Brazil and beyond as a goodwill ambassador for the UN Environment Programme. And she was early to another eco-movement: upcycling. As she told ELLE’s interviewer, “I like to buy [vintage] clothes, cut them up, and make things myself.”…
