| Abstract | "Growing up in the Jim Crow South wasn't easy for young André. He escaped into the glimmering worlds he discovered inside magazines like Ebony and Vogue. He fell in loe with all things French and honed his taste for elegance and style in spite of those who judged and bullied him. Standing tall against all odds, André spun his hardships into a fashion fairy tale of his own making. With exuberant prose and luminous illustrations, this is the inspiring story of majestic icon André Leon Talley and his enduring legacy"-- Front jacket flap. |
