Hailey Bieber has a reputation as a go-getter – the top editor of the magazine was open to that Interview magazine when he met the cosmetics mogul at a party.
Mel Ottenberg, the magazine’s editor-in-chief, remembers meeting at a chic, glitzy bash at the iconic Chateau Marmont.
Bieber, in her dazzling backless black dress, stunned the journalist – according to his Instagram post, and left a lasting impression on him.
“I was at a party at Chateau Marmont and kissed HAILEY BIEBER hello as I passed by, but then Hailey walked up to me in her sheer black beadless dress and a GUCCI thong.”
But what Ottenberg didn’t expect was a career-defining statement from Bieber, who made an unmistakable, immediate pitch to him: a mention on the cover of an Interview magazine.
“She said, ‘Hey MEL, I like those INTERVIEW covers. I’d like to buy one; it’s time,’ and I said, ‘Yes, totally,’ and then she made me swear,” the editor wrote in the caption.
The strong confidence worked. No charm offensive, but raw appeal, which is a hallmark of Bieber’s career.
“Back in NYC, the team liked her way of getting through to me, and we decided to do her now because she is literally the AMERICAN DREAM: gorgeous, rich, famous, had the husband and child, and started a billion-dollar company,” Ottenberg concluded.
Bieber’s latest article in the famous magazine shows her approach to reaching the top with pure confidence and without fear of losing.
