A Small Lidded Majolica Tureen with a storied heritage and provenance, owned by Legendary Fashion Icon André Leon Talley! This small tureen features a flower and leaf motif with a glazed purple interior. Is unmarked but includes Doyle auction tags. Provenance: Sold at Doyle New York on January 10, 2007 - “Doyle at Home” auction, Lot 183 (Sold alongside the Small Foliage Patterned Majolica Tureen.) This auction featured items from the personal collection of Geraldine Stutz, who pioneered the retail industry as one of the first female executives of a retail establishment serving as the president of Henri Bendel for 29 years. André Leon Talley (1948-2022) was one of the fashion world's first African-American Tastemakers. A towering 6’-6” tall, elegant, flamboyant, fashion icon and celebrity with impeccable style, known for his signature capes and kaftans. For six decades he was an integral part of fashion's history, as a journalist, author, stylist, creative director and editor-at-large. His career started in 1974, when he apprenticed with legendary fashion editor Diana Vreeland at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. They created magic, on and off stage, sharing an extraordinary life of fashion and friendship. After the MET, he worked at Andy Warhol’s Factory, through Vreeland’s introduction. He was hired to answer the phone, which opened the door to New York City’s most glamorous socialites. Although private, he was part of Studio 54’s glamours scene in the 70s, disco dancing with models, fashion designers, artists, and celebrities. After Warhol’s Factory, at the young age of 27 he went to Paris to run Women’s Wear Daily, he also wrote for a few other publications prior to Vogue Magazine. He was Vogue's first African-American Creative Director, then Editor-at-Large. He broke boundaries in an industry dominated by white women. He was a prominent diversity advocate for Vogue, on and off the runway, supporting emerging designers and models. He had style, good taste and southern charm, spoke French eloquently and loved his church, a very soulful person with a big heart. Raised in the (then) segregated deep south, by his strict, loving grandmother - who worked as a maid at Duke University. Going to church was the most important thing in their life. André’s childhood was wonderful and complex, despite impoverished beginnings, he earned a bachelor’s degree from North Carolina Central University and a master’s degree from Brown (both) in French Literature. From there, he went to New York, for a volunteer internship at the Costume Institute, where he apprenticed under Diana Vreeland. He met fashion icon Diane von Furstenberg early on while he was still interning at the MET. They became and stayed very, very good friends, like family until his death. When he was about to lose everything to pay debts, including being thrown out of his colonial home on 75 Worthington Road, White Plains, New York - Furstenberg lovingly, graciously took care of the situation for him. Almost immediately after that, he died in the hospital while under treatment for COVID. Ironically, less than a year later, the street on which he lived for eighteen years, the one he was nearly thrown out of - was renamed to "André Leon Talley Way" in his honor!
