Lucy Duff Gordon

In this episode, host Lynsey Shaw is joined by Lizzie Broadbent, creator of Women Who Meant Business, and fellow women's history advocate and researcher, to explore the extraordinary life of Lucy Duff Gordon.


A trailblazing fashion designer, savvy self-promoter, and Titanic survivor, Lucy revolutionised style in the early 20th century and helped shape the modern fashion industry with her label, Lucile Ltd. Together, Heroine City unpacks the glamour, grit, and controversy surrounding the woman who brought catwalks, supermodels, and storytelling to Edwardian dress and became one of history’s first fashion celebrities.
