From his days as Diana Vreeland s apprentice at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, to Andy Warhol s Factory and Interview Magazine, to Paris bureau chief for Women s Wear Daily, to positions at W, The New York Times, Ebony, and Vogue, where he served as the magazine s first African American creative director, Talley s exuberant personality and voice guided thousands through the glamorous world of high fashion.

A posthumous commemoration of Talley, this celebratory volume offers a rare view into his world, the people who shared it, and the creation of one of the most iconic figures in fashion history.
