About the Item

A fabulous, etched Crystal Pitcher with a storied provenance, owned by Legendary Fashion Icon André Leon Talley! Perfect for the “hostess with the mostest,” who loves to entertain in high style with fabulous stories to tell! André Leon Talley (1948-2022) was one of the fashion world's first African-American Tastemakers! A 6’-6” tall, elegant, flamboyant, fashion celebrity with impeccable style, signature capes and kaftans. For 60 years, 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 under legendary fashion editor Diana Vreeland at the MET's Costume Institute. They created magic on and off stage, sharing a life of fashion and friendship. After the MET, he took his first job out of college working at Andy Warhol’s Factory, through Vreeland’s introduction. He answered Warhol's phone, which opened the door to NYC's glamorous socialites. Although private, he was part of Studio 54’s disco scene in the 70s, dancing with models, designers, artists, and celebs. After Warhol’s Factory, he went to Paris to run Women’s Wear Daily, then 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. A prominent diversity advocate on and off the runway, supporting emerging designers and models. He had individual style 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. Church was the most important thing in their life. André’s childhood was wonderful yet complex, despite impoverished beginnings, he earned a bachelor’s degree from North Carolina Central University and a master’s from Brown (both) in French Literature. When he 1st arrived in NYC, he and Diane von Furstenberg became and stayed close friends, like family. When he nearly lost everything to pay off debts, including his colonial home on 75 Worthington Rd, White Plains, NY - Furstenberg lovingly took care of his financial situation. Almost immediately following that, he died in the hospital with COVID. Shortly after, the street on which he lived for 18 years, was re-named to "André Leon Talley Way" in his honor. It is this residence that the items we've acquired came from. We know, it’s hard to find, one-of-a-kind pieces!
