Welcome to In Her Shoes, I'm Lindsay Peoples and I'm Editor-in-Chief of the Cut.

On this show, I get to talk to people that we love and admire, or some that we just

find interesting.

We'll explore how they found their path and what maybe have gotten in their way and

how they brought others along now that they've arrived.

So it's been two years since I rejoined the cut.

This time is Editor-in-Chief and on this episode we're going to be revisiting my very first

cover with the incomparable Abbey Philip.

There were a lot of things that came to mind when I was thinking about my first cover and

coming back to the cut.

I never thought about coming back to the cut.

It wasn't something that I had planned or it wasn't something that I thought was going

to happen.

So when the opportunity presented itself and I shockingly got the job, I was really

excited and I just made boards for a while of what we did before when I worked here and

kind of a new era of the cut and how I could start to visualize that and create a visual

language around that.

I was incredibly nervous.

You can do all the talking and all the meetings but at a certain point you have to put out

work into the world and just kind of let people decide what they wanted to decide.

One of the biggest things about the cut is that I really want it to be a place that creates

conversations and I felt like Abbey was somebody who really was like the perfect example
