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, and Manolo Blahnik.

Leon Talley is a force of nature: a statuesque, bejewelled titan of fashion, and right-hand man to Anna Wintour at American Vogue. Kate Novack’s charming documentary portrait reveals the man behind the bling, charting the hard road traveled, from a segregated South to the elite echelons of couture.
