By Robyn Mowatt ·Updated November 4, 2025 < /> Getting your Trinity Audio player ready… Before André Leon Talley made his mark as a critic, a prolific journalist, and a longstanding force at Vogue, there was no blueprint. The self-actualized fashion savant rose within the ranks in New York City on his own terms. Talley, who by his own efforts pushed himself from his roots in Durham, North Carolina, to New York City and Paris, had a magnetic passion for clothing and an affinity for designers. He also always left a room transfixed by his persona. Talley’s passion and his creative kinship with countless lauded designers were a key part of what made him special–it also led him to the Savannah College of Art & Design, née SCAD, an institution that is a part of his legacy. André is largely known for his encyclopedic-like knowledge of fashion and also history.
