Lamont-Doherty climate scientists incorporate their research into fabric and fashion - Lohud

Nancy Cutler The Journal News

Published 6:00 AM EST Feb 18, 2020

NYACK – Luminaries like Jane Fonda and Joaquin Phoenix drew a lot of attention for their fashion repeats on the Oscars red carpet — re-wearing outfits already seen from past awards shows. But they've got nothing on Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory scientists Robin Bell and Nicole Davi.

Bell and Davi, along with other climate scientists based at the Palisades campus of Columbia University, have started wearing their work on their sleeves, skirts and scarves, incorporating pictures of their research into fabric and fashion.

"We have to put the lens of climate in everything we do," said Bell, one of the world's top experts on polar ice sheets who even has an ice ridge in Antarctica named for her – Bell Buttress.

Bell has donned climate-themed clothing before. But her recent fashion collaboration, along with outfits worn by Davi and other climate scientists, caught some key attention.

The Lamont researchers wore their sustainable creations to the American Geophysical Union awards ceremony in December. Bell is president of the organization.

Bell's flowing skirt depicted a mountain range under the Antarctic sea. "It's really upside-down," Bell said, oddly appropriate for the bottom of the world.

Bell worked with Maria Luisa Whittingham, owner of Maria Luisa Boutique in Nyack, to create her climate-themed clothing.

Whittingham described how the project inspired her to create a bias-cut flow to the fabric, to add repurposed crystal beads at different heights like water falling. "This shows how beautiful nature is."

Davi is a leading researcher in paleoclimatology (figuring out climate during past periods) and dendrochronology (studying tree rings to date events and environment of the past). Her dress was upcycled from an old black dress she had hanging in her closet. She worked with a seamstress to add beading, trim and pleats that incorporate pictures of tree rings printed on fabric.

Davi's dress honored both science and history: The photos of tree ring samples stemmed from the work of the father of dendrochronology, Andrew E. Douglass.

"We are always trying to communicate about our science," Davi said. "Fashion is another way to have that conversation."

Davi said the Lamont scientists' dresses did just that after the American Geophysical Union awards ceremony in San Francisco. They were chatting with people in the elevator. They talked about their climate-inspired attire, and their work.

"They were so interested in talking with us ... and it was handy, we could show them," Davi said, unfolding the pleats on her dress to display the tree-ring images complete with pencil marks tracking time.

Those business people Davi and other climatologists met in the elevator? They worked for Salesforce, the company whose CEO Marc Benioff championed the Trillion Trees campaign to President Donald Trump.

"Worlds collided," Davi said. The Salesforce team was clearly interested in the topic, she said. "They couldn't ask us enough questions."

Whittingham said she was grateful the dresses created not only beauty but talking points. "I feel so hopeful that people really do get it and care," she said.

The Nyack store owner found the project personally inspiring as well. "I have to say thank you to Robin," Whittingham said during a recent visit in her South Broadway store. "This totally opened me up." She said she continues to work on other sustainable clothing ideas. 

Bell relishes the idea that her Antarctic-inspired clothing can serve as a lesson plan of sorts. 

"What we do is trying to decode the planet," Bell said of climate science. Displaying that work as a fashion statement makes it relatable and relevant. And, she said, it incorporates a message that "Our future is something we can embrace."

The Most Sustainable Idea In Fashion Is Personal Style - GQ

The strangest thing about this very quiet New York Fashion Week was how disconnected it felt from last season’s environmentally conscious hullabaloo. Last fall, everyone yelled a little bit too loudly about sustainability. This season, people yelled a little bit too loudly about how New York Fashion Week was dead. The shift is strange because one answers the other: couldn’t a little pruning, a little quietude, a little more discretion about who should have a fashion show and why, help us solve the quandary of how to make fashion more sustainable, both as an environmental concern and as an industry?

Two designers told me things this fashion week that seemed like they had very little to do with those topics but that made me think about them in a whole new way. (Now that’s fashion at its best!)

One: Collina Strada designer Hillary Taymour said that she designs things that she hopes people will keep for years and years—and indeed, her sense for print and color, combined with her super-simple shapes, mean that her pieces can be worn in lots of different ways, and that even after years between the closet and the dry cleaner, they’ll still bring the zing that good clothes do. You could put those tie-dye pants with a kinda fancy jacket and go out on a date, or throw one of her short-sleeve crazy-printed button-downs under a suit at work. It’s all about dressing for joy—but doing that by making something truly your own, by making it a part of the wardrobe of your lifetime. (Yes, I am listening to Pure Moods while writing this!)

Two: I asked Rachel Comey how she starts designing a collection, and I was sort of taken back by how pragmatically she answered. “During the pre-spring season, it’s a lot of events,” she said, and I felt like a bonehead standing in the rain who’d asked if it was raining. “And, well, what if she doesn’t want to dress up in a dress? What if she wants to wear a suit and flats and still feel dressed up?” A lot of designers do a song and dance of inspirations—“‘Start Me Up’-era Mick Jagger meets the disciplined basket weaving styles of Edo period Japan!” or whatever—but Comey reminded me that there are a lot of really well-dressed people out there who are looking great simply by buying what they need.

Taken together, both sentiments made me realize that perhaps the only truly sustainable idea in fashion is developing personal style.

Here’s what I mean: the current climate of fast fashion and, for many men, hypebeastiality (hehe!), favors the look over the wardrobe, the moment over the long term. But personal style, not fashion, holds the greatest reward: it allows you to invest in yourself, rather than in a bunch of ideas about who you could or should want to be. The wardrobe has somehow become the least considered part of fashion, in part because a lot of people you see in fashion are borrowing things rather than really owning and wearing and loving them, and in part because we have learned to love and rely on a culture of nonstop novelty. We’ve taught ourselves that our clothing can only bring a sense of joy the first time we wear it. But there are ways to train yourself to love something every time you put it on. The real test for me is: can I put it on, forget about it for most of the day, remember I’m wearing it at 4 pm, and grin? If the thing is really great—and I promise you this—people don’t think, “I can’t believe he’s wearing that jacket again.” They think about how cool it looks on you—and about how envious they are that you have a signature, that you dress like you really know yourself.

Osman Opts for Artsy Film Instead of Fashion Collection - WWD

BIG DREAMS: For this season, London-based designer Osman Yousefzada decided to ditch the catwalks to present an artsy short movie instead of his eponymous label’s new collection.

Partnering with the Whitechapel Gallery, Yousefzada hosted the screening of his “Her Dreams Are Bigger” film at the location on Sunday.

The project intended to highlight the importance of sustainability and shed light on the realities of fast fashion and global concepts of beauty.

Supported by Livia Firth’s brand consultancy Eco-Age, the short film was developed from a trip to Bangladesh where Yousefzada “showed a suitcase full of clothing carrying the label ‘Made in Bangladesh’.” Bought at charity shops in England, the discarded clothes were handed to women who worked in the industry.

In a series of close-up shots, each woman was asked to imagine the previous owners of the discarded garments, often defining them as “tall” and “beautiful.”

“They wear different types of dresses which make them look more beautiful”, said one of the ladies in the film, while another mused that “they’re not black like me, they’re much fairer and very pretty.”

Others additionally reflected on the correlation between their own poverty and the size of their dreams, which they believe to be way smaller compared to the ones the former owners of the clothes have.

Through the women’s words on film, Yousefzada highlighted personal considerations on the contemporary fashion world, the industry’s inherent inequalities and overall social discrepancy between makers and customers.
