Could we say that Canadian men are becoming a bit of a trend? To be more specific, Canadian men working at top fashion glossies? We’ve just got our very own in the form of our lovely new fashion assistant, Joel and, in an announcement this morning, Interview Magazine will be following suit by putting one at the helm of the legendary NY-based mag. We would say that they are copying, but we’re feeling generous. That and the American glossy is one of our fav things to have a good flick through. The Canadian in question, and the mag’s brand new Editor-in-Chief, is Nick Haramis, who come from T Magazine where he was Articles Director, replacing Keith Pollack who left last Autumn. So what are his plans? “I want to ratchet it up a bit and imbue the feeling of the magazine with a bit of the weird or unexpected,” Nick told WWD this morning. “When I was approached by Interview, it sort of felt like a no-brainer. In addition to sort of being humbled to work at such an esteemed magazine, it was also like ‘oh, dope, I get to do the thing that I really love doing at T but throughout an entire magazine.” And this is no brief affair – Nick’s been in love since he first got his sticky mitts on a copy back in the homeland. “I didn’t have much access to anything New York-related or anything that felt edgy or underground when it came to arts and culture,” he said. “I learned a lot about that world, and dreamed of being a part of it, through the magazines that I read. And Interview was a bible of sorts.”
