CHECKING IN

Rene Moshi Macdonald, founder and creative director of womenswear brand Lisou, shares what she’s been loving lately.

 

Reading: Parched Earth by Elieshi Lema and anything by Simon Sinek are on my list.

Watching: I just discovered The Law According to Lidia Poët, a drama inspired by Italy’s first female lawyer.

Dreaming of: I’d love to explore more of Southeast Asia and South America. I feel like I’ve only touched the tip of the iceberg in those regions.

Browsing: The Brooklyn Museum in New York is always interesting.
