WABE Arts: Curating André Leon Talley’s legacy after loss


Listen Later

A final exhibition, finished without its creator. At SCAD FASH in Atlanta, “André Leon Talley: Style Is Forever” reflects years of collaboration — and the challenge of honoring a fashion icon after his death. WABE Arts & Culture editor Sherri Daye Scott spole with Rafael Gomes, creative director of the SCAD fashion museums, about curating Talley’s wardrobe, preserving his exacting standards, and designing an exhibition meant to make visitors feel his presence. From custom mannequins to a deeply personal soundtrack, the show asks what it means to complete someone else’s vision — and get it right.
