>> I think I've said before that a magazine that I regularly read is Fantastic Man, given that the boyf buys every issue and ergo, I get to snarf through it without spending a penny. There's something about the dialogue about style as opposed to fashion that is very refreshing to an all-over-the-place scatterbrain like me as it literally makes me sit down and think for five minutes about say an item like a bow tie. Actually the fact that 1,000 words can be pumped out on a subject like the bow tie AND be engaging is in itself an impressive feat.
Therefore, I was pretty excited when I heard rumours floating about early summer that a sister magazine would be on its way. Nope, it ain't Fantastic Woman but it's going to be called Gentlewoman and the first issue will be launched in spring/summer 2010. The taster in the current A/W 09 issue of Fantastic Man has already had me anticipating sessions of sitting still, good and proper in an Eames chair with an issue and a cup of Earl Grey tea at the site (no biscuit as I don't want to get grease stains on the matt paper...).

A spread about the perfect jumper... and pointy bras seen at Louise Goldin S/S 10 are already in force...

A piece about the benefits of napping for more brain power... not sure this is something I can adopt given my penchant for 3-hour sleeping time...

cannot wait to read power of napping

My favourite spread is this piece about Karla Otto, superpower of fashion PR... she looks completely amazing...

cannot wait to read Karla Otto !!

I liked Ewan when I was in high school. I am not sure how I feel about him now or how I feel about him being on this cover.

I am perplexed...

And Gentlewoman is one of the dumbest magazine titles I've heard of in my entire life. Its so dumb that its genius. I love it.

That sounds just like the intention of the creators of this magazina

Great previews of Gentlewoman by the way. Thanks for posting.

Does anyone know if this issue is already out in the US? I actually bought the Spring/Summer issue at a local Borders. But I don't think it sold well over here, and I even suspect they ended up selling only one copy to me eventually. I am not sure if our local Borders (or any Borders in Midwest) will still carry this title. Does anyone know anything about that? thanks!

OO the Gentlewoman sounds interesting

So just for clarification, its just a supplement for now, but will stand alone next spring?

I like Ewan 's cover. when can I get the magazine?

Received this issue today.

I actually think the Fantastic Man content and direction works well when directed at women, through The Gentlewoman. It seems like a bit of an untapped market. But maybe I'm just in love with the fact that they included an article on Melanie Ward...

fashionismydrug, correct there is a preview in this issue. To quote the magazine, "It is a first glimpse of a new title for a new decade... THE GENTLEWOMAN will fully emerge in 2010."

^Yes I got it yesterday and I fully enjoyed the Hamish Bowles article...might scan it later.

my friend just told me about that article with melanie. very interesting knowledge to hear melanie was actually the designer of the women's at HL...

 

[skot4mc]

^ oh Scott, so glad you brought that up! what a development!

i mean, i knew she was firmly by Helmut's side, but designing? wow!

Thanks! I wasn't sure if it was a separate supplement attached to the magazine or just a section within.
