The Gentlewoman Magazine

The Gentlewoman Magazine is aimed at modern women of style and purpose. It focuses on personal or even idiosyncratic style how women actually look, think and dress and on those women the magazine considers to be inspirational. 

This ethos certainly doesnt eschew glamour and, with clever journalism and superb photography also in the mix, The Gentlewoman is regarded as the defining publication in a growing genre of refocused, intelligent, production-rich magazines.

About Issue 30, from the publisher:

It’s the big three-o, readers. And your anniversary issue of The Gentlewoman is fronted by the feminist art icon and theatrical rocker Kembra Pfahler. The peerless vagina-positive performer, linchpin of New York City’s underground, and bandleader of the Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black, appears in all her glory via a 14-page profile by Cristina Ruiz with photography by Jamie Hawkesworth. Styling is by, well, Kembra, whose cheery outlook, “I’m not naked, I’m wearing body paint”, is not shared in all quarters. Hence, Issue nº 30 of The Gentlewoman features two fabulous covers.

On the agenda inside: Kembra’s self-coined punk philosophy of “availabism” – making the best use of whatever is available to create art; the perniciousness of the beauty standards she seeks to subvert; and her undimmable certainty that the future is female. Whatever the medium, Kembra is one of life’s great communicators: “I’m interested in saying hello to everybody.”
