On this week’s episode, host Dennis Scully speaks to Stellene Volandes and Elisa Lipsky-Karasz, the editorial leaders of Elle Decor. Volandes, the editorial and brand director of Elle Decor, is also the editor in chief of Town&Country and a Hearst veteran—she’s been at T&C since 2011. Lipsky-Karasz, Elle Decor’s head of editorial content, has jumped around in media, from WWD to Harper’s Bazaar to WSJ Magazine. Together, they’ve taken the reins at Elle Decor after the publication’s prior editor in chief, Asad Syrkett, left in the fall of last year.  

Here, they discuss why there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to media; why designers need to consider the narrative when they submit projects to the magazine; and why boldness will be central to the success of Elle Decor
