FashionweekDaily interviewed Ingrid Sischy in Milan at the fashion shows. The former editor-in-chief at Interview who left the magazine after 18 years (under cloudy circumstances), is still around and with strong opinions. Sischy and her girlfriend Sandra Brant, who sold half her interest to her ex-husband the Contemporary Art patron Peter Brant are now at Vanity Fair'sd international editions From Fashionweekdaily:
"Fashionweekdaily: What did you think of the new Oscar format?
"Ingrid Sischy: I am a huge Hugh Jackman fan. This guy is the real archetype of a great host. We had Thanksgiving with him at some other friends', and even at Thanksgiving, when he gave the toast, even though he's an Australian, he was like, 'It's a great world here...' He loves people, and he loves giving them a good time. You could tell he had a ball. I'm mixed about saying this, because it's great that all different aspects of the movies get awards, but I kind of wish they'd put those other things at the end. It was sort of deadly waiting for the person that ties the shoelaces to get their Oscar, and whoever brushed the diva's teeth got their Oscar...I think it's something they've got to solve, because entertainment is entertainment, and that was not entertaining. Well, a lot of it wasn't."
And, later:
"FashionweekDaily: How did you feel about the Slumdog Millionaire win?
"Ingrid Sischy: Sandy [Brant] and I saw Slumdog very early, before it hit the movie theaters, because Danny Boyle sent Jon Bon Jovi a tape. Jon called us--he has a screening room--and asked if we wanted to go over on a Friday night. We saw it, and even though there were like six of us in the room, you just knew that this movie was going to absolutely capture the hearts of people. We're all looking for ways to use our imagination and memories to negotiate our way to a new place in the world, and this film epitomized this."
