🕊🖤#ArtIsAWeapon Peaceful transitions to the iconic #AndréLeonTalley @andreltalley. I learned so much about his incredible, inspiring journey from the segregated South to the top of the fashion world despite the industry's racism in the documentary @gospelaccordingtoandre. He was funny, vulnerable, transparent, witty and, if course, fabulous at the talkback following the film's @tribeca screening in 2017. I hope he felt loved, respected and admired.

Mr. Talley was the larger-than-life, longtime creative director at Vogue during its rise to dominance as the world's fashion bible. Over the past five decades as an international icon was a close confidant of Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld, Paloma Picasso, Diane von Furstenberg, Bethann Hardison, Manolo Blahnik and he had a penchant for discovering, nurturing and celebrating young designers. His byline appeared in Vanity Fair, HG, Interview, Ebony and Women's Wear Daily and he was the editor of Numero Russia. Mr. Talley wrote several books, including Valentino, A.L.T.: A Memoir, A.L.T. 365+ and Little Black Dress for Assouline, and contributed to Valentino: At the Emperor’s Table and Cartier Panthère. He was the subject of the documentary The Gospel According to André and his recent memoir, The Chiffon Trenches became a New York Times Best Seller. In 2014, he was named artistic director of Zappos Couture, and he has been on the Board of Trustees of Savannah College of Art and Design since 2000. Mr. Talley was awarded the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres from the French Republic in 2020 and the North Carolina Governor's award for literature in 2021. He was a long-standing member of Harlem’s Abyssinian Baptist Church. 🕊 #thechiffontrenches #tastemaker #gospelaccordingtoandre #VOGUE #BlackFashion #FashionIcon #FashionCurator #BlackExcellence #BlackFashion #CreativeDirector #BlackCreatives https://www.instagram.com/p/CY6TknXA3uC/?utm_medium=tumblr
