Gospel According to André

About the movie

André Leon Talley has been at the centre of the fashion world for decades. Occupying the front row of runway shows as a six-and-a-half-foot black man, he stands out "like the black Rockette" (as Whoopi Goldberg says). A long-time editor of and contributor to Vogue, he's a ubiquitous presence in fashion coverage. If you need a quote, André's got one. But for all his time spent in front of the camera, his story has never been explored as intimately as in Kate Novack's funny and poignant portrait. The film moves beyond sound bites as André opens up about his journey from humble beginnings in Durham, North Carolina, to being an arbiter of taste in Paris and New York.
From the segregated American South to the fashion capitals of the world, operatic fashion editor André Leon Talley's life and career are on full display, in a poignant portrait that includes appearances by Anna Wintour, Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford, Bethann Hardison, Valentino, Whoopi Goldberg and Manolo Blahnik.
