André Leon Talley

André Leon Talley Instagram – It was the golden age of style. Diana Vreeland’s legendary Met show, in December 1983: Yves Saint Laurent’s great l25 year retrospective. I got to
escort Iman, who decided a giant mohawk was only fitting for her black couture Alaia dress. The dress was flown over from Paris, just for the evening. The inset panels had glitter that moved inside chiffon windows as she walked. Iman, decided to get dressed in my apartment, a small tiny, duplex at 1 Astor Place, downtown.
That was her floor length fur I am carrying, not mine. Iman’s neck looked like a selfie stick. I think I looked like Jay-Z, a young Jay-Z. The couture dress went back to Alaia for his archives.
I remember Paloma Picasso showed up in couture draped velvet by St.Laurent and Jacqueline de Ribes, in YSL plumes and velvet. Style was different then. #thechiffontrenches #iman #vogue #themet #cfda #mondaymood #makeitfashion #jayz #ysl #palomapicasso #alaia | Posted on 21/Dec/2020 18:55:40
