don't look for interview's new boss in the office

"I've read Interview since I was 15," said Marc Jacobs at the party for Brant Publications' new editorial management at Mr. Chow last night. "When I was in art school and high school, I would redraw the covers. I always dreamed of being in it." "A lot of people have come up to me and said how excited they are about it," said Chris Bollen, the new editor in chief. Aside from Jacobs, who has already collaborated with the Interview team (though he would not disclose any details), Bollen's friends Ryan McGinley, Rita Ackermann, and Dan Colen are excited about contributing to the magazine. Of editorial director Glenn O'Brien, who first worked at Interview under founder Andy Warhol and is returning for his third stint there, Bollen sighed, "He's cooler than I'll ever be. I can already tell. He's got life down so well." O'Brien certainly does. "I haven't been in an office in a while," he told us. "I think I was the first editor at large, ever. At a certain point, I decided I didn't want to go to the office. I was actually working for High Times. I said, 'I still want this job, I'm just not going to come to the office.' But we have a nice office. It's only a five-minute walk from my house and I'm the boss, so I can go to work anytime I want."
