The Gentlewoman Magazine nº 30, Autumn and Winter 2024
The Gentlewoman Magazine nº 30, Autumn and Winter 2024 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
