Interview #567

A perennial favourite, Interview continues to dominate our celebrity needs as it brings together artists, musicians, and creative thinkers. Embracing its fabulous Andy Warhol origins, the current creative team have taken it right back to its celebrity roots as an Instagramzine—the rough newsprint it’s printed on is the perfect vehicle for the full page shoots and monochrome texts.

Who better to front the magazine once hailed as ‘The Crystal Ball of Pop’ than the ‘Queen of Pop’ herself? This eagerly awaited Summer 2026 issue sees Madonna return for the eleventh time, extending her reign as Interview’s most featured cover star. Inside, she sits down with editor-in-chief Mel Ottenberg to spill the tea on her new studio album ‘Confessions on a Dance Floor: Part II’—a sequel to 2005’s love letter to the club. The issue is also significant as it marks the departure of art director Jack Vhay, who played an instrumental role in defining the visual identity of the magazine during his two year tenure—and even made a few cameo appearances in its pages along the way. Elsewhere, find Kennedy scion and Democratic candidate Jack Schlossberg—who placed third in the June 2026 primary—in conversation with his longtime doorman, whilst ‘Jackass’ co-creator and star Johnny Knoxville waves a fond farewell to the career-defining franchise.
