“I may have been the only Black person sitting in the front row, but Blackness was before me in great counts of beauty” André Leon Talley told cadylang in 2020. “There was always Blackness somewhere in the fashion world, so I never felt alone”

under Graydon Carter, who is a great editor. I called him from the phone from Paris and said, “I want to do, but I want the black people to be the aristocrats and I want the white people to be the field hands, the so-called indentured servants.” So Manolo Blahnik was a gardener, Naomi Campbell was Scarlett O’Hara and John Galliano was the house servant, cleaning the house and polishing the silver. This was one of the greatest things I’ve done in fashion, and it did have an impact.

It’s a consciousness. By being very conscious of diversity, by being able to articulate it to people in powerful positions, by perhaps being a person who is an influencer or considered an icon and who can impart to the world that diversity is, and should be, an aspect of progress. I would say, well, you try it. Walk in my shoes and see what you could do. … I didn’t have a bullhorn or a pulpit. I was brought up to be a quiet advocate for the injustices that have been going on for hundreds of years in this country based on the idea of white supremacy, which is really a vile, terrible thing. I hope that I’ve contributed something.

To be enthusiastic, to be curious and to have discipline. To help and be kind, to have decency and empathy. My advice to anyone [looking to work in fashion] is to never give up your dream. Do your homework — which is to say, do your research — and just keep the faith. Keep the faith, baby.The moment when Michelle Obama became First Lady and I had been given the honor by Anna Wintour to profile her for the March issue ofand a great moment for me, to have been a part of that.
