André Leon Talley Drags Ex-BFF Anna Wintour Over Her Apology To Black ‘Vogue’ Staffers: ‘Colonial Broad’
André Leon Talley, 71, once had a close working relationship with Vogue Editor-In-Chief Anna Wintour, 70, as her magazine’s editor-at-large between 1998-2013. Given this history, it was a big deal when the esteemed Black fashion journalist spoke out after his former close confidant owned up to race-related “mistakes” and Vogue’s lack of diversity in an internal memo addressed to her Black staff members that surfaced on June 10. First off, André pointed out that Anna’s memo surfaced at the same time Samira Nasr was named the first Black editor-in-chief of Vogue’s competitor, Harper’s Bazaar, a magazine that is 153 years old.
