The Gentlewoman: does she even need a man?

Can someone living in London get their hands for me on the first issue of Gentlewoman?

It is a new biannual magazine that has an ambitious goal: “Featuring inspirational, international women, it pairs ambitious journalism with a sartorial and intelligent perspective on fashion that is focused on personal style – the way women actually look, think and dress.”

So far, I have only been able to see some very Vogue circa 50 black & white images with the cover featuring the fabulous Phoebe Philo.  I must say that the esthetic is trying hard to be oh-so-fashionable and definitely retro inspired (did I miss these dangerously pointy boobs in magazine or on the runway? can you even get a date with those?).

Anyway, it reminds me and perhaps was heavily inspired by Flair Magazine of the late and fabulous Fleur Cowles . However I have yet to read an article with hopefully some substance and inspiration matching this level of style.

The founders Gert Jonkers & Jop van Bennekom are famous for their iconic Butt magazine for and about homosexuals and the stylish Fantstic Man and have been so successful with them, some say they are saviors of the magazine industry.

When is CosmoBoy or Men’s Home Journal launching their first issues?
