We are honoured to share André Leon Talley’s interpretation of beauty from inside A Magazine Curated By Giambattista Valli, 2010, in memory of the fashion icon who personified extravagance whilst carving a path for many to follow.

Karl Lagerfeld dismissed Patrick Hourcade, the author of Karl: No Regrets, as “a cheat and a liar.” Patrick Hourcade, the former creative director of French Vogue and an expert in 18th-century art, is a man of integrity, decency, wicked humor, and refinement.

Demna Gvasalia Interviewed by André Leon Talley and Starring Iman
GVASALIA: I took a typical man’s evening shoe that you would wear with a tuxedo and then added an 11-centimeter heel. I made the heel quite thick because I didn’t want the guys to complain that it’s not stable enough. The first week of lockdown I bought some heels online because I wanted to understand why women always complain about high heels, and I understood it. I almost broke my ankle twice. But you get such an attitude. I felt so amazing. Like, okay, I’m a gay guy who loves wearing heels.

6 Books About Betrayal To Add To Your Must-Read List
The Chiffon Trenches by André Leon Talley When the first excerpts of André Leon Talley’s book were released, we knew it was going to be juicy.

He explains quiet activism through subtle suggestions during fashion shoots while also covering frivolity.

From his childhood in the southern states of America, raised by his grandmother, to New York, bouncing between there and Paris, depending on his roles at various magazines, it’s a who’s who (or who he knows) of fashion and society in one of the most exciting periods of 20th century fashion.
THE CHIFFON TRENCHES

Michael Kors and André Leon Talley Hold Court Over The World of Fashion
No one in fashion can tell a story quite like Michael Kors, with the exception, that is, of André Leon Talley.

André Leon Talley Remembers Karl Lagerfeld
Today, at the age of 85, Karl Lagerfeld, one of the most legendary designers of the 20th and 21st centuries, has died. Below, André Leon Talley remembers his mentor and dear friend. I’ve known Karl since 1975; we met for the first time at The Plaza hotel in New York over tea with Andy Warhol. Karl mentored me in everything: French history, literature, the history of fashion, art. From our first moments, we were like the brother each of us wished we had, true siblings.

Op-Ed | In the Universe of Warhol
NEW YORK, United States — I worked at Andy Warhol's monthly magazine Interview for a few months, from January to August 1975. It was my first real job in New York City and I loved every day I went to the office at 860 Broadway on Union Square. You took the elevator up to the third floor and were buzzed through steel security doors. Arrivals were tightly vetted as Warhol had been shot.

Beyoncé, Vogue and historic blackness
When I saw Beyoncé on the cover of Vogue’s September issue, a different excellent black woman came to mind. “The times, they are a-changin’,” Nina Simone sang in 1969. The song was written by Bob Dylan, but no one sang it so well as Simone.The image didn’t just feature a black model; it was captured by Tyler Mitchell, a black photographer, the first in the history of Vogue covers.
The historic blackness of Tyler Mitchell and Beyoncé's Vogue cover
The September 2018 issue of Vogue. (Tyler Mitchell/Vogue) When I saw Beyoncé on the cover of Vogue's September issue, a different excellent black woman came to mind. "The times, they are a-changin'," Nina Simone sang in 1969. The song was written by Bob Dylan, but no one sang it so well as Simone. The image didn't just feature a black model; it was captured by Tyler Mitchell, a black photographer, the first in the history of Vogue covers. It was thrilling to see that the times are a-changin' still.

Prince in Vogue: Portraits of an Icon
With the passing of Prince nearly two years ago, the world was left in mourning. What remained was an incomparable body of work: Prince was a sui generis talent who blended genres and styles, a man who maintained a spellbinding aura of mystery his entire career. In the early ’90s, he granted Vogue an audience. Here, we reprint two takes on the “Fresh Prince,” from the January 1992 issue, one by George Kalogerakis, the other by André Leon Talley, with photographs by Herb Ritts.
When Loulou Had a Party
Fashion parties tend to be a commercial affair these days — not so in the mid-Seventies. The photographer Francesco Scavullo could throw a rager for the likes of Loulou de La Falaise, the late model and YSL collaborator, without a corporate sponsor or the rental of a warehouse and even without any particular reason. Oh, to experience the days before “networking” was the tacit theme of any gathering of more than 10 people.

Live Chat: Maureen Dowd and André Leon Talley: The Inaugural Balls in Style
I talked to a top Democrat and former Obama-ite this afternoon who said this: Barack Obama bears some responsibility for bringing us to this point. This Democrat did not agree with Chris Matthews that Trump’s speech was “Hitlerian.” He said that it was not the kind of speech you give on the steps of the Capitol speaking to the world, however, but the kind of speech you give at a campaign rally at an airport hangar and people were expecting a more formal and hopeful speech.

5 Home and Beauty Products Andre Leon Talley Must Buy
If you’re like us, you’ve probably wondered what famous people add to their carts. Not the JAR brooch and Louis XV chair, but the ground coffee and the bathroom rug. We asked Vogue contributing editor André Leon Talley which items he can’t live without. These are my bedroom slippers. They’re like a black mule, but made for a man: thin-soled and sheepskin-lined. I like the black matte leather, not the suede. They are the most comfortable things. My feet have become bigger because of them, I think.
