ANDRE LEON TALLEY: Sartorial Supremo

Power lies in style, making one think: ‘Oh, I could have done that!’ but then, someone actually did it, much before anyone thought of it. Understanding and appreciating the foresight behind people with ideas that we take for granted takes effort, especially if the ideas have evolved before one’s time.


Take Andre Leon Talley,former American Vogue Editor-at-Large and presently Contributing Editor, Monsieur Talley is definitely an imposing fashion trendsetter himself.



Standing 6'7, his flamboyant and individualist outfits- made-to-order, undoubtedly attract attentions. A front row regular, at fashion shows in Paris,New York, London and Milan, his style of dressing is a visual seduction of the senses..intriguing..genuine.

Just like separating solitaires from paste, will leave the wannabe riff- raff far, far behind on the sartorial run, instead of being trampled on celebrities and divas presence on season events, Mr. Talley has picked up his personal version of trends, in his own style.

Andre Leon Talley has kept leaders of the rug trade stylish pack amazed at his dramatic entrances, proving his fashion’s mindset maturity and authority.
The boldness of his style makes it difficult to believe that he had, “suffered from weight problems” all his life. After being advised by talk show host Oprah, to reduce his alarming weight, Talley liberated his body from being over weight to acceptable level.
