André Leon Talley was fashion’s greatest moments personified. The larger-than-life stylist, writer and former Vogue editor-at-large died on Jan. 18 at age 73. His death leaves a gaping void in the global fashion landscape. He was American artist Andy Warhol’s muse and a close confidante to some of fashion’s biggest names like Naomi Campbell, Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint-Laurent. He was the first Black person to grace Vogue’s masthead. In his lifetime, he worked to shape the predominantly white industry with his grandiose perspective. Edward Enniful, the first Black Editor-in-Chief of any Vogue, paid his tribute to Talley on Instagram, “Without you, there would be no me. Thank you for paving the way.”
