Karl Templer and Fabien Baron both left Interview
Both Karl Templer and Fabien Baron have left their roles at Andy Warhol-founded Interview Magazine. Templer was the magazines creative director and has of late been in headlines after accusations against the star stylist surfaced in a Boston Globe piece on sexual misconduct in the fashion industry, of which he has denied. Fabien Baron, veteran art director and the founder of Baron & Baron, was Interview’s editorial director. Interview is owned by Peter Brant who bought the publication in 1989 after Warhol’s death and was a friend of the artist. Page Six reported in February that Interview was dealing with landlord dispute and a multimillion-dollar lawsuit with Deborah Blasucci, who claimed she was fired because she “made too much money”.
