Synopsis
Beneath the folds of his capes and kaftans, André Leon Talley possesses the heart of a fascinated child, who grew up going to church surrounded by men and women in their Sunday best. It was in Durham, North Carolina where the larger-than-life fashion editor, who later made his name at Vogue, found his truth: ‘I don’t live for fashion, I live for beauty and style.’ Decades later, Talley’s truth has been evangelised to and through other editors, models and designers alike. Although he’s now an industry titan, director Kate Novack takes her audiences back to meet the young man who discovered his first Vogue in the local library. It’s a humbling look at a man who brought beauty and glamour beyond barriers.
