Ep. 106: The Melzyverse w/ Mel Ottenberg
In our first episode of 2025, we're joined by the inimitable Mel Ottenberg— longtime muse, generational style mastermind, Editor in Chief of Interview magazine, and Nymphet Alumni Lifetime Achievement Award recipient— to discuss controversial figures (Natalia Grace, Blake Lively, Luigi Mangione), the current status of normcore (Brandy Melville, classic menswear, tighty whities), his incredible fashion legacy (styling Rihanna, conceiving Lana's iconic cover, channeling the Warholian spirit), and much more.*
