And there’s going to be a lot more color. I haven’t met a color I haven’t liked this season" [Fashionetc.]

The Interview Situation, Laid Out in Full

>> Interview has had a major case of rotating door syndrome in the last month or so. While its owner, Peter Brant, is in the midst of a messy divorce with Stephanie Seymour, editorial director Glenn O'Brien has been replaced by his former co-editorial director, Fabien Baron, who was allegedly fired from the magazine last Fall for going over budget; Michael Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak of M/M Paris, who were brought in to replace creative director Karl Templer when he left alongside Fabien Baron last Fall, are now leaving the magazine so that Templer can come back (and also because they were supposedly owed three months pay plus expenses); editor-in-chief Christopher Bollen is being pushed out as editor-at-large so that executive editor Stephen Mooallem, who has been at the magazine for six years, can be installed as editor; and fashion director Joe McKenna is also rumored to be leaving. On top off all that, O'Brien is now being sued by Interview for giving interviews after his departure, violating a non-disclosure agreement he says he didn't sign.

So what exactly is going on? »
