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.
