Amanda Lear, Queen of the ‘70s scene, still has plenty to say about bad biopics, deceitful lovers and cougar castings

RT: Is there an artist you feel is underappreciated today?
AL: Yeah, me for instance. I sold 18 million records in the days of disco but people tend to forget that.

Is the newstand destined to be an antique?

It' s clear by now that I'm deeply intrigued by the styling and editing work of the driven young Sonny Groo. Hailing from Amsterdam, Sonny is one of those rare individuals whose passion for the industry transcends the common hunt for fame and money. You get the sense that the boy is doing what he does out of a sense of destiny. We had a late breakfast on the day after the final show of Paris Fashion Week where Sonny brought me a copy of the gorgeous first print issue of Mykromag. It was like being handed this beautifully crafted black box filled with images by new photographers shooting pieces by new designers on new and sometimes never before seen models. I loved the audacity and the elegance of the book and treasured it. During our conversation, tears came to Sonny's eyes when he tried to express how important it was for him to see and create beautiful images . We were in this shockingly modern organic food cafe on rue des Pyramides as the last of the visiting fashionistas came sprinting down rue Saint Honore. I remembered thinking...now here is the extreme degree of passion you need for success in fashion.

"A certain model in the news just finished locking the cover of that quintessential indie glossy. Behind the big lens were that M&M team and TI for one can't wait to see how our Grand Dame will flip her..."topicality"...into a fashion appropriate statement. Lord knows last time she did so it made for an epic issue..."
