Ugh. This magazine really needs a shake up.
While I've always enjoyed the industry insider interviews and especially look forward to the exchanges between unexpected pop icon pairings, that's been there all along.
This magazine lacks surprises, wit, humor and joie de vivre. The current incarnation has in my book added nothing to this magazines once illustrious, striking, celebratory back catalogue of pop's crystal ball.
Major issue for this magazine is it's complete lack of variety in viewpoints as far as fashion stylists and favored aesthetics. No matter the photog + stylist combo, the end result always feels so sobering.
I look like Grumpy Cat after flipping their fashion editorials. Please stop with the static, grim characters sulking about run down, wrong side of the tracks scenarios, and for the love of God stop taking yourselves so damn seriously. Lighten up Interview!
(And no that doesn't mean I want to see an entire issue centered around painfully forced smiling depressed models either lol)
Although the overall aesthetic is not my speed, kudos to Klein's capturing of Adam's strange body contortions, muscular movements. Really could've done without the toilet shot though. (You know the scene in Almost Famous with Penny in the bathroom?) I would love to see Klein shoot movement filled images of dancers and ballerinas. I miss his regal, classic photography he did in the 90s.
