Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from one of the most unique figures of 20th- century American culture and an integral member of fashion history.
Entertainment
Intelligent man, the kind you actually listen to.
His weight is a serious issue. He is close to the size when he cannot walk on his own accord anymore.
Wow this dude should have been a wrestler hes big like the wrestler with the same name Andre the Giant.
What this interview just thrown on her or what because she don’t seem prepared Love andré
He IS fabulous.
The Great André Leon Talley taught me everything about fashion, style, and grace. His commentary during Fashion Week were gems. Love ❤️
A true inspiration. A grandcestor.
Andre weighs more than Lagerfeld's casket.
He is so amazing! I absolutely love him!
Comments about the royal family weren’t necessary. The minister was an embarrassment. No wonder the queen wasn’t smiling. It made the collective uk’s arse twitch.
@ 11:23 - The beginning.
I luv Andre’!!! Well Deserved!!He has been an INSPIRATION ,my friend/Mentor(in my head), and most importantly a “Global Treasure”.
What’s wrong with going to community college???
Y Tessema Nothing, he was shading the interview for not doing her research
Vanessa may want to take note from Andre’ and his interview with Mr Lagerfeld. Do your research. Build a relationship. Be respectful. Your air of superiority and aloofness is unwarranted. Andre’ is a legend and treasure.
Preach on it Mrs.Perry!
open your own channel in u tube, embrace it with the passion you are known , easy a camera, halo light, quiet room, phone and laptop.
One of the GOAT’s.
This interviewers questions are flat. With such an accomplished man of merit as Andre Talley, the questions should have been more inquisitive, genuine, specific and delivered with more honor..:-(
I LOVE Andre!
The interviewer need to find another job.
He looks amazing..I just hope he loses some weight I would like to have him for as long as can be. He is a Fashion and cultural bible...Love his giant tents and can't wait to buy one as he is putting out those tents soon.
She does not seem to understand who she is interviewing.
Poor thing😂
Love Andre!!! I just can't finish this... Vanessa is making it so difficult.
carrot top needs her attitude checked...
I pray for him as his weight is tragic.....be well o special one.
give the lad a chat show!!! and market ur caftans dear. georgous!
he so entertaining!!!! I adore hier!!!
his robe/bedspread is teutonic and awe sonic...
He got where he got because he was black, he was the token at WWD, and than at Vogue , he never let them forget that
To try and raise him up to being a fashion icon is ludicrous
If he actually had talent, had taste, had smarts he would be heading his own multi million $$$ company today, instead he lives in the past, so grossly overweight he can hardly walk, he has a difficult time in showering ,looks very slovenly, covering up a 425lbs of blubber with a colorful tent, is not the answer and defintetly not fashion one wants to follow
Vreeland Gardner Bye Girl👋🏾
Vreeland Gardner How rude are you? Jealousy is not a good look on you my dear. ALT is a very educated and classy man. He's worked with the best and brightest in the Fashion Industry. You can't dim his light sweetie. Btw, it's then not than Sherlock. Lol
I pray the film will be shown here in Atlanta!🙅🏿♂️❤️🔥💯😘😍
It’s so damn unfair, money should never be an issue for a man of his stature! He’s smart, informative, and brave! I could go on, lying at his feet, for hours...listening to his stories! Sir, there are not enough words to describe your spirit! ❤️U
I love hearing him talk. He's a walking treasure trove of information.
GUCCI CAFTAN
Amazing man! Such a legend!
This woman exemplifies stoic.
Omg Andre...i also watch marie antoinette and makes me happy!!! Xoxox
Wow, what a rude and uninformed interviewer..."It's very hard to follow these stories, you are having a better time than me." Good grief, absolutely clueless.
What a gracious man. I never knew what he did, he just seemed to be in the background of Vogue documentaries. Thank goodness he’s in the spotlight at last.
I need to meet himmmm I absolutely adore
I don't think I have ever seen him this raw and uncut. I loved this interview - and I love him. And the last question was just such a beautiful question.
Why does the interviewer sound so patronizing and in a way disengaged with the substance of the man's story?
What an atrocious interviewer -
Andre Leon Tally=Legend
Karl Lagerfeld,Diana Vreeland.....icons
He got some tea!
Indeed he does. 😆😊
You look like a freakin Royal King. Never heard of you until an interview on a radio station Let FBKwrites, write your book.
enjoyed this
but the interviewer needs to sharpen her skills. Her energy is not in line with her subject and her questions didnt seem very thought out and were weak. He could have talked without her there.
Why in God's name are they providing a tiny chair for a man well over six feet tall with a large frame body? ! Honestly, it's disrespectful to "assume" a chair that tiny size would be comfortable to sit in for well over an hour for anyone larger then the interviewer. The interviewer is misplaced, mismatched, and not all that bright, however Andre' was gracious, kind and accommodating providing wonderful animated entertaining stories. Can't wait to see his movie !!!!
Wishing Mr. Talley, perfect peace and desires of his heart. Sooner than later.
I would love to know what he thinks about kanye west fashion line.
There is a heartbreaking undertone to Leon when he discusses his life, like the fact that he is broke and publicly mentions it with comedic irony...all respect to him.
08CARIB His being broke is not that he has no money but rather that he did not make better financial choices. This man has over 30 pieces of genuine Vuitton luggage plus couture custom capes etc. If he were "no money broke" he could sell his possessions. In one of his houses he has 3 bedrooms of clothes 😂😂😂😂😂.
I saw the doc yesterday afternoon. He definitely is not broke--not with his huge house in New York...and his second house in Durham, North Carolina. And certainly not with a radio show on Sirius and a lifestyle luxury website owned and operated under his control. He may have to economize now that he doesn't have an expense account...but he's far from the poor house.
08CARIB I definitely felt that...
What he says and what is fact is not necessarily true. Also, I grew up with the children of wealth--the Hilton's, for instance--and poverty is relative.
WOW CAN HE REMEMBER THOSE NAMES, LOVE HIM, WHAT A SUCCESS. HHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, LOVE IT.
Love Andre he is such a force. Vanessa looks annoyed, disinterested and awkward.Would have been better without her.
"Do your homework!!" Yes I will ALT!
He is indeed a national treasure.
Yes!! I never missed his commentary during fashion week for many years. It stayed on that channel like sports.
La Veda Davis one of a kind
💜 ALT
Introduction begins at 11:29. Very grateful for the share TimesTalks. Andre Leon Talley is one of those people that make the world a better place just by being in it.
always a course listening to his journey
I like the intetviewer, she has a good heart
This must be the interviewer's comment under a fake account because no reasonable person could like the job she did.
Is she being an A...I mean REALLY this is Andre Leon Talley
this Red Head appears irritated and typical. She's obviously acting as if she has NO Idea who she speaking to. (off with her head)
She's awful.
Fantastic Interview!
Love Andre! Bur Vanessa is such an awkward interviewer wtf?
His ass gotten to big to be stylish so he always wear robes!! He needs to stop it!!
Athba Almaghlouth yeah, she eroded me at every bend! Horrible interviewer...just in the way!!!!
Agree. It is almost like she is not having a conversation of INTEREST its just questions..ukkkkk Like when Andre tells the Xmas eve story..the camera catches her face and she looks like soooo bored...damn where did they get her from...And they have Fuji water but put him in those frail A...chairs...ukkkkkkkk
ALT is a national treasure and I am so looking forward to his documentary. Thanks for posting this video; for those like myself who cannot get enough of this genius it is a rare and joyous experience.
I love him so much but he needs to get healthy! I don't care what anyone says he needs to get his weight under control! I hope he or his friends are reading this!
artsygirlify he knows!
You are darn near 70 years. His face looks easily 35. I support getting healthy, but when I get that age...Let Me Cake! Andre let FBKwrites - write your book!!!!!!
artsygirlify agreed!..Anna Wintour remains concerned about his health too. his health needs to be a topic of a loving conversation.
My all time favorite fashion icon. Waiting to see the doc here in Germany. I love ALT!🙌🏽
