André Leon Talley: Race, fashion and Vogue

André Leon Talley was the Creative Director at US Vogue for many years and a close colleague of its editor, Anna Wintour. He looks back at his decades in the fashion industry.

It’s not just about policing, it’s about business, sport, culture – every aspect of life. HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to André Leon Talley, who was creative director of American Vogue magazine when the fashion industry was almost devoid of senior black men. He’s just written a controversial memoir of his life in what he calls “the chiffon trenches”.
