The 2X4 Interview: Vincent Gallo & Kim Gordon, Indie Icons
French minimalist label APC threw a Fashion Week party last night at their Mercer Street location and pulled off some rare Sunday evening hipitude with Jarvis Cocker (formerly of Pulp) as the DJ and members of Interpol, Vincent Gallo, photographer Terry Richardson, Lady Bunny, and Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth in attendance as well. We soaked in the scene, noticed that shorts (as in pants, yes, short pants!) are back and can be safely worn post-Labor Day by cool-seeking guys and girls. We sipped Sofia Coppola's sparkling wine in mini-cans through a straw and we regrettably tried to interview two of the aforementioned hipsters — attempts which lasted all of four seconds each. Hence, get whacked like us with a 2X4 after the jump.
Vincent Gallo, Actor/Director
Gawker: Hey, I don't wanna bug you right now but what's the best way to contact you for an interview?
VG: I don't talk to the press anymore.
Kim Gordon, Sonic Youth
Gawker: Are you enjoying Sofia Coppola's canned champagne?
(Random Drunk Person interjects: "That's not champagne, it's STUPID-DRINK in a can!")
KG: Oh, I like it.

Update: Interpol members were incorrectly identified as being at the party. (No chance, they're in London now playing shows.) Come to think of it, we're not so sure who these obvious band dudes were but they certainly looked like they'd be on a iPod playlist alongside Franz Ferdinand, Libertines, and The Killers.
