Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour has called the loss of André Leon Talley"immeasurable," after the trailblazing fashion journalist and former Vogue creative directorThe fashion icon, known for his billowing silhouettes, booming voice and candor, was the first Black man to ascend the ranks at Vogue, becoming one of the most influential figures in an industry where few Black creatives have held top roles.
Talley started his fashion career at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute with an unpaid role under fashion editor Diana Vreeland, according to Vogue, who ushered in the Met Gala's heydey. He worked at Andy Warhol's Interview magazine, Women's Wear Daily and the New York Times before taking his first role at Vogue in 1983 as its fashion news director.
"I worked behind the scenes," he told talk host Tamron Hall in 2017."I did it in dulcet tones, and I was persistent and tenacious....I always assumed a very quiet role. I didn't scream and yell and shout....That was the best strategy, because that was the world I moved in. After all, it was Vogue, darling."Talley and Wintour's relationship was the subject of speculation in recent years.
