Much like in the story of Cinderella, Andre Leon Talley is known for waving his wand (aka fashion connections) around and getting you in a great outfit just in time for the ball. At the same time, his high ranking at Vogue makes him much like Marlon Brando's character in the Godfather. He's respected, revered and even feared...he can make or break a collection. While I knew who Anna Wintour was because my mom always had a Vogue subscription, I wasn't studying her. I was focused on the lone black man on the first row with the most flamboyant and sometimes custom couture pieces. He was the first one to rock the Louis Vuitton mink scarf. Fab is what he does.
