The Fabulous Life of Derek Blasberg

Journalist, Instagram star, life of the party.

The headline for Alexis Swerdloff’s New York magazine piece reads: “Derek Blasberg Is the Truman Capote of Instagram.” A cute comparison, undone slightly by the 50-50 chance that if Capote were alive in this era, he would have nothing to do with social media.

A better description of the CNN International program host, Vanity Fair contributor, Gagosian Gallery staffer and man-about-world comes later in the article, from Christopher Bollen, a writer and editor at Interview. Bollen describes Blasberg as “like Fran Lebowitz, only less grumpy.”
