Many people who work in fashion come from a relatively privileged background. Raised by his grandmother, a maid, in Durham, North Carolina, under Jim Crow laws, he could barely afford food when he started as a journalist.
This gives you an idea of just how talented a person of colour has to be to break into this still extremely white world. His profiles could be overly chummy — he often interviewed friends — but they were soaked in his outsized personality, and his shoots were joyful. For a long time, he was the most powerful black man in fashion, now overtaken only by Edward Enninful , editor of British Vogue. And how was my work regarded and disregarded by Anna Wintour?
I am 71 years old and I take my story with me wherever I go. The past is always in the present. I read his new memoir, The Chiffon Trenches , in one hot weekend, barely able to put it down. The writing is deliciously good and, as a narrator, Talley is both incisive and dizzyingly unreliable, which adds to the fun.
There is no tongue-biting here. What would Lagerfeld have done? She is also a celebrity, recognisable to even the most fashion-phobic. Surely Talley anticipated the fuss he would cause? Why not? Yet other Vogue staffers of his generation — stylist Grace Coddington , writer Hamish Bowles — have resisted dodo status by embracing social media and other shifts in the weather.
Talley is on Instagram , but his page largely consists of references to the past: photos of Radziwill, Vreeland, Princess Gloria. The Vogue of the 80s, 90s and early 00s that he describes in his book, when editors expensed their dry cleaning, is like reading about the last days of the Raj.
The estrangement was a shock because the pair had been allies since they first met at Vogue in When she was appointed editor in , Wintour made Talley creative director.
He is very funny about the unspoken rules of working with her: no meeting must last more than eight minutes; food is not an essential part of lunch.
Once they took a taxi to a restaurant, ordered their meals, and after 20 minutes Wintour announced they were leaving, before the first courses had come out. He did, but put it straight back on. I ask if, in an industry in which the one crime is to be fat, maybe it was also a rebellion against his lunch-averse boss?
