In a fabulous, worldwide exclusive, The Gentlewoman presents Cindy Sherman, photographed by Inez & Vinoodh for its 19th issue – a double-cover extravaganza featuring the great American artist as she has never been seen.

Inside, thrilling interviews with the women who are thoughtfully reinventing our world abound – the England footballing sensation Lucy Bronze for example, the multi-hyphenate television dynamo Sharon Horgan, incandescent rapper Lizzo and ingenious fashion designer Paula Gerbase, or student activist Amika George, whose compelling crusade is essential reading for all.

A brand new series sees us out in the field, meanwhile, taking in the wilds of the Suffolk moors, the twists and turns of Hollywood and the marble warehouses of Leyton. And in a final flourish, several fashion propositions in which modes of dress are explored, critiqued and generally enjoyed are presented by the leading image-makers of the day, along with a portfolio of portraits by the artist Nigel Shafran. Welcome to Spring 2019!
