"I’m not really a person who repeats my mistakes too many times once I’ve learned my lesson".

I first met Courtney Love in 1995 when I had been assigned to write a cover story about her for Vanity Fair. I flew out to Seattle, where she then lived on Lake Washington. She kept me waiting for an hour down in her living room while I busied myself inspecting a Buddhist altar. Almost twentyRead Mo...

"There are times when a young actress or musician will be throwing a tantrum, and I tell her, “Listen, darling, see you later. Michelle Obama is less work than you!”

When he first popped up on Project Runway, Christian Siriano was an elfin jester who wasn’t expected to last the run of the show. Eight years after he won the whole damn thing, he sits at the helm of a multimillion-dollar company with a presence in 120 countries, shaking fashion’s skeptical olig...

"American Psycho was a very personal book for me—a novel about a young man trying to fit into a society he hated but wanted to fit into anyway, because where else could I go?"

Today, voices of a generation don’t fade away—they just go online. At 53, Bret Easton Ellis is the eminence grise of former enfants terribles: His 1985 zeitgeist-defining novel Less Than Zero, published when he was just 21, earned him a place in the pop culture pantheon. American Psycho—his bl...

"...s*x scenes are more about intimacy than they are about s*xuality. It’s all about the chemistry you have with the other person, whether that person is a man or a woman".

This summer Jonathan Groff has already starred in London at Royal Festival Hall as J. Pierrepont Finch in a concert version of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and as Gordon Michael Schwinn in the revival of the musical A New Brain as part of the Encores! series at New York City Cent...

“The next day, you feel much better, and there’s no calories. We’re still trying to come up with that skinny strain with no munchies.”

It would be just another ritzy, VIP dinner in just another Hollywood Hills manse, hosted by just another millennial millionaire, if it wasn’t for the inebriants carefully selected for each of the seven courses of this gourmet, vegan dinner. Each varietal was chosen by a sommelier (of sorts) to enh...

"California, where I live, is one of the states where it is safest to be trans, but in majority of other states, trans people can still be fired and be denied housing for being trans along."

With Transparent’s victorious run at this year’s Emmy Awards, artist, activist, and producer Zackary Drucker is enjoying her moment in the spotlight. Her work behind and in front of the camera—she is a co producer and has appeared on Transparent, and frequently appears as herself in I Am Cait....

“We want to do fashion. We want to blend the line between art furniture and fine art, and we will be doing some public sculpture and philanthropic work.”

Photography by the Riker Brothers How the Haas brothers got into design is one of those improbable L.A. stories featuring a celebrity, money, and the chance magnetism of talent and opportunity. It was 2010, and actor Tobey Maguire was renovating his office at Sony Pictures Studios. He asked then-twe...

“The critique is easy, the art is difficult.”

A new wave of visual vigilantes is taking the city street by street Photographs by Fred Jacobs Being a street artist used to be a dangerous and dirty pastime involving cat-and-mouse games with the cops, tubs of wheat paste, and minimal compensation — but working conditions have decidedly improved....

“I was so uncomfortable in my environment that I developed a compulsive desire to make spaces feel better, to make me feel better, to make us feel better.”

From Brooklyn and beyond, these are some of the fashion scene’s most daring up and coming creators. Misha Kahn Wildly imaginative and tirelessly prolific, the Bushwick-based designer has al...
