What you need to know about André Leon Talley is that he contained multitudes. He was as comfortable front row at a couture show as he was on the couch at Watch What Happens Live, as at home in the white-hot center of a party as he was in his actual home, surrounded by his books. He could go from holding forth on some arcane point of art history or French court life or the world of long-past socialite swans to segueing seamlessly into lighthearted gossip.
Everyone belonged in his world, and he championed people whose greatness fashion didn't always recognize in time. When the industry was at its most exclusive, the legendary journalist, who passed away yesterday at 73, was a conduit to those who felt like outsiders, a talent-seeking missile who stayed loyal to those he supported, in particular when it came to advocating for Black designers and models. When you look at images of him, he's usually throwing his head back laughing or embracing everyone in his general vicinity, pulling everyone together. That was exactly who he was.
