Icon-Icon Opinion :

Colette’s inimitable style in depicting her characters around an extraordinary love… “What I especially like in your book is its stripping, its undressing, its nudity. / Already I would like to read it again – and I’m afraid: If I were going to find it less good! Quick, send this letter before throwing it in the drawer” wrote André Gide in 1920, the year of the release of this iconic book of French literature.

    Author: Andre Leon Talley

    Publisher: Fourth Estate Ltd

    Publication Date:  2020

    Description : During André 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. André Leon Talley’s engaging memoir tells the story of how he not only survived but thrived – despite racism, illicit rumors and all the other challenges of this notoriously cutthroat industry – to become one of the most legendary voices and faces in fashion.
