The brand-new Interview is here–well, chez nous, at any rate–and we’ve spent the afternoon taking it all in. A few obvious changes: A glossy cover, Fabien Baron’s signature font blocks, and more designer cameos than in a certain Robert Altman film. As for those notoriously formatted interviews we knew and loved? They’re not as ubiquitous these days. Here are a few highlights.

Glenn O’Brien interviews Kate Moss. A sample quote: “ I’m a tit man…I wouldn’t know what to do with a B-Cup.” Instantly classic! (more…)

We’re suckers for vintage, so of course we love this necklace called Heavenward by Anna Korte from Portland, Oregon. All of her pieces are made from vintage finds, and this one was created with a strip of leather culled from a pair of children’s gloves.

Kanye’s teaching us about fashion these days–his blog is showing off Raf Simon’s new bags for Eastpak’s Spring 2009 collection. Working with Raf may be his ultimate fantasy, but right now, blogging seems to suffice.
THE DETAILS: $208-506, barneys.com

In defense of the huge bag: Sometimes you absolutely need your phone, wallet, two pairs of sunglasses, planner, iPod, checkbook, array of lipsticks, camera, several pens, and the latest nearly-800-page issue of Vogue with you toujours. But sometimes, our poor backs need a break. Enter this adorable Miu Miu bag. The navy patent leather is perfect, and it’s just the right size for the essentials (we mean the actual essentials). Your shoulder will thank you.

Goyard and Assouline have created yet another must-have. Priced at $20,000, each holds 100 of Assouline’s signature Memoire photo-biographies on art, fashion, design and architecture.

Tommy Hilfiger’s heading across the pond post Fashion Week to Dublin, Ireland for the opening of his Grafton Street store. He’ll arrive mid-November, stay for two days and show face at both his Galway store and new store on Grafton Street. The new store will be his flagship store in the country.

Julia Stegner made the switch from Women to IMG. The 24-year-old Munich star, who’s currently appearing in Maybelline, Gianfranco Ferre (shot by Steven Meisel) and Hugo Boss ad campaigns, officially appeared on the board of her new representation on Friday. Stegner has snagged covers of French, Italian, and German Vogue, Vogue Nippon, Elle, and others and modeled for Victoria’s Secret.

Selena Gomez who just recently turned 16 looked much older than her years in Marchesa’s stunning Notte lavender and crème one-shoulder gown with beaded detail at the 2008 ALMA Awards on Sunday. We wish we could have worn Marchesa and looked that flawless at her age!
