In this opening episode, host Hardeep Kaur is joined by Dörte de Jesus, founder and editor-in-chief of The Lissome, who introduces the core theme of the new edition: resilience. In this thoughtful and expansive exchange, Dörte shares what led her to explore resilience and offers an intimate look into the creative process behind the magazine. From curating contributors and selecting interviewees like Lily Cole and Michael Meade, to directing a regenerative fashion shoot in Portugal, she reflects on how this issue came to life, how it redefined her understanding of resilience, and what it means for the future of fashion and community.
You’ll also hear reflections on the magazine-making process itself – how each edition is woven intuitively and in community, and how the magazine as a craft artefact in itself represents the values of The Lissome.
