By Andreas Milano 2 months ago

There has been a lot of press given lately to innovation in the fashion world. A recent article in the Guardian raved about a dress covered in carbon-sequestering sequins made from ocean algae that captures enough CO2 to “fill 15 bathtubs.” From athletic wear made from coffee grounds and biodegradable beechwood tanks, to peace silk underwear and pineapple leather, fashion is awash with clever, groundbreaking inventions that all claim to make the industry more sustainable.

By Andreas Milano 2 months ago

Sara Cummings, clad in an arctic-white anorak, baggy forest-green cargo pants and thick-soled white hiking boots, is about to step in front of the camera at the Reese Cooper fashion show and lookbook shoot. This, in and of itself, isn’t noteworthy; this is the third job the L.A.-based model has had since the COVID-19 pandemic began 10 months ago.

On the second Saturday of the new year, the catwalk Cummings is about to step onto is a narrow metal grate curving around the domed exterior of Mt. Wilson Observatory’s 100-inch Hooker telescope, 36 feet in the air above a parking
