Model Sigrid Agren talks to Karl Lagerfeld for Interview. It’s full of the regular Karl-isms: “Who has the idea to name you Sigrid?” “There’s no ‘again.’ There’s only the future.” and “I think everyone should go to bed like they have a date at the door.” But, just like everyone everywhere’s dad, feels that ’60s music was the best.

Becoming Edie
The highly anticipated HBO movie Grey Gardens—based on the 1975 documentary of the same name—will be blossoming onto TV screens on April 18. Vivian Baker was Drew Barrymore’s makeup artist on-set and was in charge of the prosthetics that transformed Barrymore and Jessica Lange the now iconic Big and Little Edies, eccentric relatives of Jackie O., who lived in isolation in the Hamptons. We had the opportunity to ask her about the challenges of transforming the famous into the infamous for the film.
