As a longtime champion of environmental causes, Tonne Goodman—legendary stylist, former Vogue fashion director, current Vogue Sustainability editor—has always been my North Star on what to buy, where to buy it, when to buy it, and how to wear it. It doesn’t hurt that she is one of the chicest women I’ve ever met and I idolize her personal style as much as I do her work for both Vogue and our planet. With Tonne’s book, Point of View, coming out last year, we thought a joyful way to talk about the future of fashion would be to look back to some of Tonne’s greatest shoots for Vogue and breathe new life into the looks by shopping them out from sustainable brands. This is a celebration of timelessness—good style is forever, as are great wardrobe basics—and we already know Tonne’s edit will stand the test of time.
Then:
“This is Christy Turlington on Vogue’s October 2002 cover wearing Calvin Klein,” says Tonne. “The jewelry was Steven Russell—moonstone and silver. Christy had to hold that pose for quite an extended time. It was unorthodox, but we knew it as soon as we saw it—it had to be a cover try. She had to do that position a lot that day.”
Now:
While we all are staying indoors, we thought there was nothing better than the perfect, organic silk slip dress to wear to work from home or, as Christy did that day, for an extended yoga practice. “Organic by John Patrick has done these beautiful organic silk slip dresses forever; he was one of the first,” Tonne notes. Add in a pair of Melissa Joy Manning’s moonstone drop earrings made from recycled metals and a vintage Tiffany necklace via 1stdibs—a great resource for all that is pre-owned and looking for it’s next adventure—to complete the look. As for those willing to go the extra mile and hold that pose, here is a Lululemon sustainably sourced rubber yoga mat, a reusable and self-cleaning Larq water bottle, and a hydrating rose mist in a glass spray bottle from Herbivore to increase your zen.
