André Leon Talley was an American fashion designer, journalist, and former America’s Next Top Model judge who died on January 18, 2022, in New York.

From 1983 to 1987, he was Vogue magazine’s fashion news director, then its first African-American male creative director from 1988 to 1995. He finally became its editor-at-large from 1998 to 2013.

He was known for supporting emerging designers and advocating for diversity in the fashion industry, and the capes, caftans, and robes he wore became his signature look.

He also wrote three books, including the memoir The Chiffon Trenches, which was a New York Times Best Seller; and co-wrote another book with Richard Bernstein. 

Talley was the editor-at-large of Numéro Russia in 2013, but resigned due to Russia’s anti-LGBT laws.
