9 Questions for Aliona Doletskaya

by

Former Russian Vogue editrix Aliona Doletskaya was once rumored to be replacing Anna Wintour at Vogue. After she resigned as EIC of Vogue Russia in July 2010, the fashion world buzzed that she’d replace her comrade Dasha Zhukova at POP. Well, neither of those things turned out to be true, but Doletskaya has resurfaced in the world of glossies. She’s the international editor of Interview’s first two international editions: Interview Russia and Interview Germany.

Doletskaya has big plans for the first international editions of Warhol’s famed magazine–which include bringing on supermodel Naomi Campbell (she’s also the girlfriend of publisher Vladislav Doronin) as editor at large.

We asked her about her vision for the magazine, her thoughts on celebrity, and whether she’ll be bringing any Vogue to Interview.

Oh Land Serenaded Tisci, Theyskens and More in a Native American Headdress

by Misty White Sidell

In the elite confines of the Boom Boom Room, Interview Magazine hosted flaxen-haired stunner Oh Land, no stranger to the top of the Standard, who performed to an audience of fashion’s glitterati. Wearing an all-white ensemble, complete with coordinating organza frock and Native American headdress, the singer crooned a full set from her recently released album while holding court on the electro-drums. Sprite and rather slender, the former ballerina gave us more reason to regret dropping out of dance class at the tender age of 7.

Caught between the performance stage and an awkward mosh pit of badly behaving (probably) Goldman Sachs boys, Elle’s Kate Lanphear told us that she’s an Oh Land fan because, “I love anyone who wears sequins during the day.” Earlier in the afternoon, the songstress attended a bevy of resort shows in a custom Stine Goya pantsuit, covered in sparkling spiders.

Riccardo Tisci Talks to Donatella Versace About the Bronx, the State of Couture, and That Dior Rumor

Riccardo Tisci Talks to Donatella Versace About the Bronx, the State of Couture, and That Dior Rumor

by

Riccardo Tisci has been the name on everybody’s lips since John Galliano was ousted at the house of Dior and his namesake label. But we haven’t heard much about the designer himself of late due to the overshadowing rumors that he will be named Galliano’s replacement.

Luckily, in Interview mag’s June issue, Tisci has a lengthy interview conducted by fellow Italian-born designer Donatella Versace. The two gush over how much they love one another’s work, talk music, family, and yes, Dior.

Here are some of the highlights:

Quotes of the Day: Tom Ford’s Five Most Ridiculous Quotes from his Interview Interview

Quotes of the Day: Tom Ford’s Five Most Ridiculous Quotes from his Interview Interview

by

Oh, Tom Ford. You are a ridiculously amazing human who never fails to say and do ridiculous things. Take for example, Ford’s recent interview with John Currin in Interview. He says so many awesomely over-the-top things we couldn’t pick just one. Here are his top five quotes:

1. I lust after beautiful women. First of all, I love women. But I lust after beautiful women in the way that I lust after a beautiful piece of sculpture—this will probably get me in trouble—or a beautiful car. I believe everyone’s on a sliding scale of sexuality. There are moments where I am sexually attracted to women. But it doesn’t overpower my first impulse; my lust for them is the same as my lust for beauty in all things. It’s not like I ever think, “Oh, my god, I’ve got to spread her legs and fuck her.”

2. I’m an equal-opportunity objectifier…I’m sorry, I don’t understand why our culture both worships and objectifies beauty, and then slams those of us who participate in it. Because I make that detachment, I’m capable of objectifying a beautiful woman, but that doesn’t demean her in any way. She’s beautiful because she’s a creature who exists physically, in the physical world, who happens to be in a moment of prime.

Extreme Close-Up: Interview’s Cover Conundrum

Extreme Close-Up: Interview’s Cover Conundrum

by

Interview’s August cover of Marion Cotillard hit the web yesterday, and while there’s no doubting it’s a beautiful image (it’s pretty difficult to make Marion Cotillard look bad), it strictly conforms to Interview’s standard cover composition: a tight shot of a woman’s face in a black, white, and red palette.

Including Marion’s cover, Interview’s past three covers, Megan Fox, Madonna, and Carey Mulligan all follow this basic composition. Out of their nine 2009 covers, six are female close ups in white, black, or red. We can’t help but wonder, why?

Vending Machines Get Arty

There are many reasons we really want to go to Art Basel in Miami. From (of course) the art to the beyond chic crowd and parties. And just the general fun one can have in sunny Miami because you know, “Miami, Miami, you’ve got style. Blue skies, sunshine, white sand by the mile…” (If you Read more →
