From the founders of Fantastic Man – preview of long-awaited The Gentlewoman, first real issue will be launched in 2010.

Celine’s creative director, Phoebe Philo, gets the honors for the launch issue of The Gentlewoman, the sister magazine to Fantastic Man that hits newsstands on 22 March 2010. Inside is a profile of Philo and a shoot by David Sims, styled by Camilla Nickerson with the designer posing in her own clothes and both vintage and current Celine looks. “It’s about modernity and women that are just fantastic,” says Penny Martin, the biannual magazine’s editor in chief to WWD. “Phoebe was very candid about herself, her mother and silhouette and inspirations.”

Contributors in the 148-page launch issue include design critic Alice Rawsthorn, fashion designer Louise Gray and model Daisy Lowe. The new fashion title will have a circulation of 72,000!
