While most folks in mainstream America hadn’t heard of Andre Leon Talley until he appeared as a judge on “America’s Next Top Model” this past season, Vogue‘s flamboyant editor-at-large (now a “contributing editor”) has been pulling the strings backstage at the world’s most powerful fashion magazine for decades.
The 60-year-old editor has taken a number of designers of color underneath his wing, including Rachel Roy and the newcomer Laquan Smith. He has also been a cheerleader and style mentor for Venus and Serena Williams, Jennifer Hudson and Michelle Obama, helping get those ladies and others into the pages and onto the cover of the fashion bible. He will forever be a fashion guru. We salute you ALT.
