Issue nº 31 of The Gentlewoman is super fresh and fronted by the brilliant American actor Greta Lee in a white feather number by Loewe. The season’s Modernisms Q&As are a riot of discursive discovery, spotlighting the ceramicist Lindsey Mendick, the podcasting designer Bella Freud, the restaurateur Ravinder Bhogal and the director Joanna Hogg, who has made a film from the perspective of a handbag. And why not?
We’ve character studies galore in the profile pages. The beloved Irish writer Claire Keegan is dubious about her authorial persona but excited about her new tractor. Marie Adam-Leenaerdt wears her own multifaceted designs. The model Lily McMenamy has devised a smash theatrical revue, and the rock-loving artist Lorna Simpson is making blockbuster work featuring a meteorite bought on eBay.
The fashion stories brim with new attitudes, too, from dazzling stripes to a close-up inspection of fab sunglasses. Not to mention a lesson in high-contrast looks from the Belgian supermodel Anne-Catherine Lacroix, and the next big thing in executive dressing. More power to you, sisters!
