Issue nº 30 of The Gentlewoman is fronted — and how! — by the feminist art icon and theatrical rocker Kembra Pfahler. The linchpin of the New York underground appears in all her glory via a 14-page profile by Cristina Ruiz, with photography by Jamie Hawkesworth and styling by — well — Kembra, whose cheery outlook, “I’m not naked, I’m wearing body paint”, is not shared in all quarters. Hence, two fabulous covers.
Joining Kembra is the director Janicza Bravo (Zola), bringing her “stress comedy” to the streets of Manchester for the BBC; the incomparable brand builder Tory Burch, who is relaxed about the Toryssance engulfing TikTok: “I didn’t realise I wasn’t cool before,” she says; the choreographer Oona Doherty, strutting in waterproofs, and the author Olivia Laing who explores utopian socialism — via gardening.
An exceptional array of fashions include: country manor swagger, two rounds of outerwear, and sartorial proposals for hybrid living from our own editor in chief. The fun Q&As herald good conversation with the footballer Lotte Wubben-Moy, the electronic musician Merry Lamb Lamb and the actors Fiona Shaw and Cush Jumbo. Break a leg, sisters!
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.
