My Chiffon Trenches. Memoirs of a Vogue Legend

André Leon Talley is one of the brightest and most memorable characters in the modern fashion industry.

The creative director of American Vogue during the magazine's rising popularity, as well as a person who had a colossal influence on the style of two First Ladies of the United States and on the tastes of millions of women around the world.

An evergreen jury member of the most rated fashion show on TV - America's Next Top Model and the author of several illustrated fashion publications.

In 2020, he was awarded the honorary title of Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters of France.

My Chiffon Trenches is an emotional confession that triggered public resonance and has already become widely quoted by all leading global media.

In his memoirs, André Leon Talley revealed for the first time: - about a difficult childhood and experienced violence; - about working with Andy Warhol, the emotional traumas acquired while serving at Vogue, and discrimination from the House of Yves Saint Laurent; 

- about the behind-the-scenes of glossy magazines, shows, and 18+ parties that allow a sober look at the representatives of fashion over the last fifty years; 

- about friendships with great figures of the fashion industry and show business: Roy Halston, Karl Lagerfeld, Diana Vreeland, Tom Ford, Bianca Jagger, and many others; 

- about his personal life and betrayals from close ones, revealing the true reasons for his falling out with Anna Wintour. 

The name André Leon Talley is familiar even to those far removed from the fashion world. But in this book, he reveals himself from a completely different side, even for those who have been following his career for a long time. You feel as though you are living through all the most important moments of his life with him.

Along with the story of André himself, you learn interesting facts about the industry and its most influential figures that could only be known by someone from the inside.

I would dedicate a film to his stories, which would undoubtedly be more captivating than the same Devil Wears Prada.
