André Leon Talley, the hugely influential fashion journalist and flamboyant former editor-at-large of U.S. Vogue, has died. He was 73.
Talley passed away Tuesday at a hospital in White Plains, New York, following an unspecified illness.
A towering figure in fashion, both literally given he was 6-foot-6 and figuratively due to a career that spanned six decades, Talley wrote about fashion at a number of publications including Womens Wear Daily, W and even a brief stint at the New York Times, but it is American Vogue that he is indelibly associated with, serving variously as the magazines news director, creative director and as well as editor-at-large working closely with EIC Anna Wintour.
