Glenn O’Brien is a post-postmodern renaissance man: a popular writer, a poet, a humorist, and one of the inventors of the modern interview style. He has been a seminal magazine editor, an insider in the art world since the 1970s, and his commercial work has included some of the most talked about projects in advertising and merchandising. He has named important brands, written scripts, created concepts and directed notable television commercials from cK one to “Rock the Vote.”

He regularly writes for many leading magazines around the world, including GQ (where he currently writes the Style column), the New York Times “T” Magazine, New York Magazine, Paper Magazine, Vanity Fair, Vogue, and L’Uomo Vogue (Italy) and French Vogue.

He earned a degree in English literature from Georgetown University, and is the author of several books including SEX (with Madonna, Warner Books, 1992); THE GIRLY SHOW (with Madonna, Callaway Editions, 1994) and THE STYLE GUY (Ballantine, 2000).
