Lissome, adjective, late 18th century, abbreviation from lithe + -some
Synonyms: gentle, calm, gracious, kind

Pronouncing the feeling of watching long, graceful blades of grass swishing in the breeze, “lissome” is an attempt to explain something that is fundamentally ineffable, a moment of serene awareness that you’ve experienced but never had a word for. That kind and gentle awareness of ourselves and, as a consequence, of our surroundings, is the larger story that inspires us at Lissome.

In this issue:

Amid global uncertainty, how do we grow resilience – personally, culturally and ecologically?

Inspired by Rilke’s poetic wisdom, Rise Up Rooted, Like Trees gathers visionary insights from fashion, craft, storytelling, somatics and activism, including an exclusive interview with cover star Lily Cole. With practical tools, mythic reflections and tangible pathways for empowerment and alignment, this fifth print issue invites us to anchor ourselves in hopeful action and resonant futures.
