Interview №562

Interview has been on our favourites list for some time, for its design as much as its content. Launched in 1969 by Andy Warhol, the magazine, nicknamed ‘The Crystal Ball of Pop’, features interviews with celebrities, artists, musicians, and creative thinkers. Its trademark is the celebrity-interviews-celebrity Q&A, matched with brilliant full page photography, and in embracing this format the current creative team have taken it right back to its celebrity roots as an Instagramzine. Sabrina Carpenter is in her working-girl era. Just one year after her sixth album, Short n’ Sweet, launched her into the stratosphere, the former Disney star is picking up where she left off with Man’s Best Friend. The album cover alone—Sabrina on all fours in a black mini dress and heels, as an anonymous guy grips her signature blonde hair—had the internet spiraling. But beyond the controversy, it’s the music—glossy, confident pop served with a wink—that keeps her in the center of the conversation. From their couches in Manhattan, Sabrina and Interview editor-in-chief Mel Ottenberg got on the phone to talk about music, men, and more men.
