André Leon Talley

André Leon Talley Instagram – Vogue; All-IN! @amandascgorman cover of Vogue is not only brilliant and modern, it is in the history of the great magazine, a first. A first for so many levels, but more importantly, its the first time a poet , an African-American poet, has appeared on the cover. It is historical because a black man @virgilabloh of @louisvuitton designed the Kente cloth, classic African heritage cotton, from his native Ghanian culture. The poet laureate, Amanda read her exceptional poem; The Hill We Climb at the 2021 Inaugural of President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris.
We ALL: we are continuing to climb hills, hills of healing, hills of forgiving, and climbing hills and mountains of overcoming all adversity, systemic racism and inequity.
Dame Anna Wintour accelerates her promise of inclusivity and diversity, gently putting her Manolo Blahnik sandals to the metal. This cover is yet another soaring moment in the history of Condé Nast – It is a cover all mother’s and grandmothers and aunties of any color would want their young daughters to see and experience.
