Almost half a century after it was founded by Andy Warhol, lifestyle magazine, Interview, a onetime bible of the fashion, the arts and culture publication, is folding. Founded in 1969, the magazine is closing and filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The news was publicly shared by the magazine’s staff earlier in the week.
With its striking style, Interview had long wielded outsize influence in the industry, inspiring the look and feel of many other publications. But questions about the magazine’s fortunes have lingered for years, as it faced ever-thinning ranks and churned through staff.
Reports of financial mismanagement in recent months had raised questions about the viability of the magazine including lawsuits. In the suit, filed in a New York court on May 2nd, Mr. Baron and his wife, Ludivine Poiblanc, sued the magazine and its publishing company, accusing them of owing the pair more than $600,000.
In a lawsuit filed in 2016, Deborah Blasucci, who said she had spent more than three decades with the publisher, accused Mr. Brant and the company of illegally firing her.
