Description

In 1969, Andy Warhol launched Interview, an underground film journal that quickly transformed into an iconic symbol of New York City culture and style. The monthly’s expansive conversations and irreverent approach opened doors to the intimate circles of society and became a launchpad for creative talents such as André Leon Talley and Fran Lebowitz. With a vibrant mix of rising celebrities including Madonna and Leonardo DiCaprio, alongside the legendary presence of Elizabeth Taylor and Steven Spielberg, the magazine became known as “The Crystal Ball of Pop.” Now, fifty years since its inception, dive into the extraordinary archives of Interview and rediscover the columns, photography and voices that collectively tell the history of American culture decade by decade.

With an introduction from former editor Bob Colacello, essays from editor-in-chief Nick Haramis and editor-at-large Christopher Bollen, and additional contributions from Interview alumni and friends André Leon Talley, Camille Paglia, Christopher Makos, Diane von Furstenberg, Donna Jordan, Eric Boman, Fran Lebowitz, Greil Marcus, Kate Moss, Lauren Tabach-Bank, Marc Balet, Marisa Berenson, Mats Gustafson, Mel Ottenberg, Michael Kors, Paige Powell, Pat Cleveland, Pat Hackett, Patrick McMullan, Richard Turley, Sam Shahid, Sandra Brant, Shelley Wanger, Stephen Mooallem, Tama Janowitz and Victoria Bartlett.

In partnership with the upcoming release of Interview: 50 Years, Assouline and Interview magazine are pleased to announce a revolutionary collaboration with VRAccelerator. Bringing a digitally enhanced experience to an Assouline cover for the first time, readers will be able to explore every archival issue from their digital device.

PROCESS MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Since its beginnings in 1994, Assouline has been dedicated to creating books that are as informational as they are beautiful works of art. The respect for the product and the process of creation is evident in every facet – the traditional technique of hand-binding covers, the imagery that transports the reader to another place and time, the luxurious thickness of each page. Known worldwide for bringing luxury to the publishing industry, Assouline produces one-of-a-kind books on fashion, art, architecture, photography, design, and travel, weaving a story of L’Art de Vivre with every publication.

The vision, since day one, has been to create books that would complete a well curated library. Today, well appointed homes of the eternally well-dressed, are likely to have an expansive collection of Assouline books in their homes or offices.
