Farewell to the most Fabulous Fashionista

Happy Sunday Everyone. So many headlines have announced the deaths of several celebrities. It's quite numbing to lose so many icons in a span of weeks. January 18, 2022 is a day that will live in fashion and journalism history.  Our Emperor of Elegance Andre Leon Talley has passed of a heart attack. Although he led a fabulously famous life, it's hard to fathom him not being with us anymore. He was a history Maker and trailblazer in an underrepresented, influential and powerful industry. He reigned longer than my years on earth, and my life will never be the same. Andre learned his craft and directed the most influential magazine empire in the world. He shared his gift with us and lit the style scene on fire. His observations spanned all genres and garnered millions of fans. As a towering gay black man, he was a role model for minority populations to hold their heads high. Andre had a spirit of a soldier and a fighter who was deep in the trenches of diversifying the industry. The legacy and the accolades continue to roll in and will go on forever. His stories gripped me. His advice has guided many decisions made in my life.  His example is a shining light of being your true self... and winning at it. I couldn't let another day go by and not say anything. Thank you Andre for giving us your presence and your gift of grace and distinction. May you rest in eternal peace.
