I have been a huge fan of The Gentlewoman since its release a year ago. Smooth crooning UK pop star Adele vacantly stares out from a light and airy seafoam green tint cover, dreaming of spring around the corner perhaps?. Distribution of the publication in Canada doesn’t seem to reach far, if you live in Toronto try your luck at any of the Drake General Stores or Good Egg Bookstore. Let the hunt begin!
As print media watches their culture fade to extinction from a catastrophic digital-age smothering like ash and pumice burying Pompeii, it is impressive to find new print magazines being established. Especially when they are as inspiring and smart as “The Gentlewoman” sister to the immensely influential mens fashion magazine “Fantastic Man”.
I was somehow lucky enough to stumble across the last copy of this first issue at a favourite local press shop. Having been a huge fan of Fantastic Man for several years but always somewhat jealous there has never been a female equivalent I immediately made the purchase.
