Is this the dolliest autobiography of the year?
'I was tall, thin and adored by all who met me whether it was Hubert de Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent and especially Karl Lagerfeld...' Well, we've all been there. These are the words of André Leon Talley, the most powerful man in all fashion journalism, as quoted from The Chiffon Trenches, his memoir (if you get it on Audible, his all-over-the-place accent is worthy of Moira Rose in Schitts Creek!) From North Carolina to Carolina Herrera via the hard-core sex clubs of New York and all the right arrondissements of Paris, it's something of name-dropping feast taking in everyone from Andy Warhol through Diana Vreeland to Anna Wintour. A (maybe unintentional) hoot!
