RIP AndreLeonTalley. A legend that will truly never be forgotten
Photo: Cindy Ord/2017 Getty Images On Tuesday night, it was confirmed that former American Vogue creative director and editor-at-large André Leon Talley died in White Plains, New York, where he lived. He was 73. The cause of his death was reportedly a heart attack.
Talley was raised by his grandmother in Durham, North Carolina, during the Jim Crow era. He credited her with instilling in him an understanding of luxury at a young age, and he grew up reading Vogue magazines at the local library. In 1983, Talley landed at Vogue, climbing the ladder to become creative director in 1988 — a position he held for seven years, making him one of the most powerful Black editors working in fashion at the time, and the first Black man to fill the role. He was often photographed sitting next to editor-in-chief Anna Wintour front row at shows, and considered her one of his closest friends.
Later in his career, Talley would take his keen eye and sharp commentary to America’s Next Top Model, serving as a judge from 2010 to 2011. He also advised First Lady Michelle Obama as her stylist, introducing her to young American designers like Jason Wu, whose dress she wore to the inauguration.
