The first print edition of Leblue is fronted by Sydney Waits, photographed in New York by Tiffany Nicholson. Titled New Beginnings, the issue explores the power of reinvention and the moments when paths shift and something new begins to take shape.
Inside, a series of revealing encounters unfold. Hillary Taymour invites us into the spirited world of Collina Strada, where fashion moves between protest, play and radical optimism. Awa Malina Stelter and Stephanie Gundelach of OpéraSport reflect on motherhood, partnership and building a brand with conviction. In Manhattan’s East Village, Sofia Wallis opens the doors to her studio, where antique garments and long-forgotten fabrics find new life. Actress Safina offers a glimpse into her evolving practice and the shifting paths that shape a life in performance.
Elsewhere, Lucy Rae McFadin and Emma Craft reflect on growing creatively in New York, a city that never slows down. Personal objects become portraits, and a series of editorials revisit familiar codes through a contemporary lens.
Across 180 pages, conversations move between fashion, film and personal reinvention, tracing the moments when new beginnings emerge.
