The Gentlewoman magazine is quickly becoming a new favourite of mine--pretty impressive considering its debut issue landed on stands just a month ago. Phoebe Philo graces the cover but it only got better inside. Boasting a clean layout and leaning heavier on the content, I feasted on fascinating interviews of Phoebe Philo, architect Kazuyo Sejima (if you ever visited the New Museum on Bowery in Manhattan, it's her work) and winemaker Sara Pérez. Then to top it all off, the quirky editorial (but elegantly executed) "Tall 'n Small" placed two height-opposed similarly styled models side-by-side. My favourite part: The last few pages were insane detail shots of the craftsmanship as demonstrated in the Jil Sander, Yves Saint Laurent and Prada Spring 2010 shows. The YSL laser cut leather strawberries looked absolutely delectable. I caught myself drooling rabidly.

It's magazines like these that make me ridiculously happy that others also enjoy obsessing over the details and delving into the personalities innovating in the fields of design, architecture and culture. Thank you The Gentlewoman!
