In this episode of You Are What You Read, we remember fashion icon and expert, André Leon Talley, in an exclusive interview from December 2020. This week marks two years since André’s passing, and his tremendous influence continues. A beloved son, grandson, nephew and friend, André was raised in the south and flourished on the world stage. He was the first male African American editor of Vogue, and over the course of 50 years, his byline appeared in Vanity Fair, HG, Interview, and Women’s Wear Daily. As a writer, bestselling author, artist, aesthete and Francophile, André had a front row seat to fashion shows around the world, and through his work, he invited us to revel in it. This a conversation with the legend about the pillars of his astonishing life: fashion, faith, family and fun.
