'Honestly and candidly captures fifty sublime years of fashion'
Manolo Blahnik Discover what truly happens behind the scenes in the
world of high fashion in this detailed, storied memoir from style
icon, bestselling author and former Vogue creative director Andre
Leon Talley. During Andre Leon Talley's first magazine job
assisting Andy Warhol at Interview, a fateful meeting with Karl
Lagerfeld began a decades-long friendship and propelled Talley into
the upper echelons by virtue of his shared knowledge and adoration
of fashion. He moved to Paris as bureau chief of John Fairchild's
Women's Wear Daily, befriending fashion's most important designers.
But as Talley made friends, he also made enemies. A fraught
encounter with a member of the house of Yves Saint Laurent sent him
back to New York and into the offices of Vogue under Grace
Mirabella. There, he developed an unlikely but intimate friendship
with Anna Wintour, and as she rose to the top of Vogue's masthead,
Talley became the most influential man in fashion. The Chiffon
Trenches is a candid look at the who's who of the last fifty years
of fashion, and proof that fact is always fascinatingly more
devilish than fiction. Andre Leon Talley's engaging memoir tells
the story of how he not only survived but thrived - despite racism,
illicit rumours and all the other challenges of this notoriously
cutthroat industry - to become one of the most legendary voices and
faces in fashion.
