Thanks for the heads up. Wasn't Andre Leon Tally, a designer and fashion mega star? I wasn't aware he did anything with the beauty industry as well @Franklinbell .

I was so saddened by his passing. Anna Wintour loved, loved, loved him....

@gertrudecloset Andre had extensive knowledge about all aspects of fashion he was not known as a designer. He worked with Diane Vreeland on exhibits at the the Metropolitan Museum of Art (if I recall correctly), had long-term friendships with most of the major designers in Europe and America. Mostly, he was known for his journalism for Vogue along with Anna Wintour and his suipport and advocacy of designers. He has a memoir, The Chiffon Trenches, that is eye opening.

Thank you @Zernia Rose for the clarification. I knew he was "fashion involved" in some sort of way. I do recall the sad news of his death too.

@Zernia Rose @I just ordered the book from the library! I pick it up tomorrow! I had forgotten that he introduced JasonWu to Michelle Obama. What a life!

@Franklinbell He has written several books. I especially enjoy how he speaks about his grandmother's importance to him and the poignacy of his memories as a towering man and all of what that means.
