Spring is here! And with it we welcome a glamorous new edition of The Gentlewoman with, on the cover, superstar filmmaker Sofia Coppola photographed by Inez & Vinoodh and profiled by Holly Brubach. Inside, a rapturous exposition of female politics, worldly wit and good looks: Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s First Minister; the rollicking writer and actor Phoebe Waller-Bridge; Lucia Pica, mistress of modern maquillage; phenomenal sculptor Phyllida Barlow; ballet’s bright new star Francesca Hayward and the mesmerising musician Laura Marling. And what of the fashions? A panoply of delicious sartorial proposals showcased with vim and vivacity by Raquel Zimmerman, Natalie Westling, Adut Akech Bior, Amandine Renard and more. Here’s to a new, spring and summer season and all its joyous promise!
