Andrè Leon Talley Vogue Editor-At-Large Is Dead

Former Vogue creative director and fashion icon, Andre Leon Talley is dead.

Gatekeepers News reports that Talley died on Tuesday at a hospital in White Plains, New York but the cause of his death is unknown.

The deceased, aged 73, is remembered as a driving force in Vogue’s success. He served as the magazine’s long-acclaimed creative director and American editor-at-large through the 1980s and ’90s.

His death comes just three years after his decades-long friendship with Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour ended when she froze him out for being ‘too old, too overweight, too uncool’.

Talley claimed, in a memoir released in 2020, that he was left with ‘huge emotional and psychological scars’ from his friendship with the notoriously icy editor.

However, he also credited her, along with Diana Vreeland and Andy Warhol, with shaping his career.

“I will not criticize her,” he said in a May 2020 interview with Vulture. “My book is an epistle to everyone that I love. It’s a love letter to Anna Wintour. I love her deeply.”
