"You'd think handbags would be simple to blow up. But [The Amazona] is really durable. They just did not want to explode!" said Katie Grand of the film's production. Clad in a black and red Chanel mohair dress and vintage Vuitton pumps, the editor-in-chief has been on fire herself the past few months. In addition to working on the film (the eerie music for which, it should be noted, was created by her husband and former Pulp bassist Steve Mackey), Grand has just sent Love's fifth issue, which hits stands on February 7, to print. The theme? Androgyny. "The last issue was so feminine and so curvy. Everyone looked like the number 8. In this issue, I wanted everyone to look like the letter I."

Naturally, Grand's chosen poster boy for the gender-bending issue was Justin Bieber. "He's a phenomenon. Everyone in the office is completely obsessed with him," offered Grand. And he's in good company, as Kate Moss and statuesque Brazilian transgender sensation Lea (formerly Leo) T, best known for her starring role in the 2010 Givenchy campaign, are cover-co-stars.

During the intimate post-film cocktail fête, Grand asserted that she's looking forward to London Fashion Week, particularly the Giles, Jonathan Saunders, and Topshop Unique shows that she's styling. But perhaps most exciting was her announcement that, in collaboration with Liberty department store, she will be hosting a LFW blow-out bash with New York Party King, Alexander Wang. "It's going to be insane!" she said, smiling. We don't doubt it.
