Oh yes, it’s the all-singing, all-dancing pop sensation Robyn! In this issue for Autumn and Winter 2014, the exuberant Swede speaks about her extraordinary transition from ’90s teen star to mistress of her own musical universe. This tenth edition of The Gentlewoman is replete with women of international glamour and worldly wit – the Scottish broadcaster Kirsty Young; Dutch artist Marlene Dumas; the hilarious American comedian Kristen Wiig; indefatigable journalist Vanessa Grigoriadis; British soap star Maddy Hill and the new face of Japanese fashion, Chitose Abe of Sacai, are among them. These in-depth interviews and chatty articles are interleaved with fantastic fashion stories and thoughtful sartorial expositions, while essays on the art of hosting and fastidious case studies on delightful details all provide new perspectives on modern living.

The Gentlewoman celebrates modern women of style and purpose. Its fabulous biannual magazine offers a fresh and intelligent perspective on fashion that’s focused on personal style – the way women actually look, think and dress. Featuring ambitious journalism and photography of the highest quality, it showcases inspirational women through its distinctive combination of glamour, personality and warmth. These qualities are also at the heart of its website, thegentlewoman.com, a virtual place where real women, real events and real things are enjoyed.
