Lissome Magazine Issue 5 (Rise Up Rooted, Like Trees) is available now on loremnotipsum.com. Amidst global unrest and deepening ecological challenges, how can we root ourselves firmly in hope, courage, and resilience? Drawing inspiration from Rainer Maria Rilke’s timeless insight, “If we surrendered to earth’s intelligence, we could rise up rooted, like trees,” The Lissome’s fifth print issue is an exploration into what it truly means to cultivate resilience – personally, culturally, and ecologically.
Anchored by an exclusive, in-depth conversation with our cover star, the actor, author, and environmental advocate Lily Cole, this issue delves into storytelling’s powerful role in resisting polarized narratives and fostering empathy. Through thoughtful interviews, essays, visual stories, and fashion editorials, we bring together visionary perspectives that offer both clarity and complexity.
From Michael Meade’s mythological reflections on finding inner anchors during tumultuous times to Alice Bernardo’s impassioned advocacy for craft as a transformative tool for community empowerment, we offer diverse paths towards personal and collective strength. Elizabeth McLellan introduces practical frameworks designed to harmonize our inner worlds with outer realities, providing tangible tools to build resonant futures.
This issue journeys through fashion, craft, creativity, ecology and activism, spotlighting projects and organizations actively seeding hope and tangible change. As always, we strive to share these stories with profound beauty and authenticity –inviting you to reconnect, reclaim your agency, and step forward with renewed imagination and grounded optimism..
Lissome Magazine offers a holistic perspective on fashion at the threshold of a new era. Bringing together stories and visions of designers, artisans, and change leaders across disciplines, we initiate a new way of living and being through curiosity, contemplation, and an understanding of our deep interconnectedness with Nature.
