Antonio's girls indeed

One of the best Interview covers of all time was released in August 1973, the theme was mostly Antonio Lopez, the illustrator, and his girls....On the cover, though, is Uschi Obermeier.

And the girls then - some big names such as Jessica Lange and Grace Jones, his own discoveries. Another one is "Lisette" whom I think is really Lizette Kazan, later to become an important fashion director. And then, a rare shot of Pola.

An amorous shot - Lou Reed, Mick Jagger and David Bowie.

A beautiful, simple shot of the fashion designer Adrian's grave.

All PR is good PR

Especially if it comes from a 70s Interview magazine.

Of Serpents and Models

In 1981 Natassja Kinski posed for Richard Avedon for a seminal shot featuring herself in a cold embrace with a boa constrictor. Though she looked like the innocent, Natassja herself had allegedly suggested this particular prop, with the idea of herself portraying Eve.

Now, 29 years later, Lara Stone is on the cover of Interview, shot by Mert and Marcus, in another serpent embrace, this time considerably more lustful on the part of the model. Instead of looking like the sacrifice in a satanic ritual, like Natassja, she looks like Cleopatra toying with an accessory. Or, awaiting that deadly chest bite.
