" - Andre Leon Talley " When my best friends doubt their little black dresses, they call me on the telephone seeking reassurance. " - Andre Leon Talley " When I was a young boy, growing up in Durham, North Carolina, the women in my family were truly passionate about their clothes; nothing was more beautiful to me than women dressing with the utmost, meticulous attention to accessories, shoes, handbags, hats, coats, dresses and gloves to attend Sunday church services.
