The Chiffon Trenches: A Memoir

The Chiffon Trenches is a must-read for anyone interested in the glamorous and cutthroat world of fashion.

This memoir by André Leon Talley, a legendary style icon, offers a candid and intimate look at the who's who of the last fifty years of fashion.

From his early days alongside Andy Warhol at Interview to his decades-long friendship with Karl Lagerfeld, Talley provides a unique insider's perspective on the industry's most important designers (Halston, Yves Saint Laurent, Oscar de la Renta) and the challenges they faced.

Despite racism, illicit rumors, and other obstacles, Talley rose to the top of Vogue's masthead as creative director, developing an unlikely but intimate friendship with Anna Wintour.

The Chiffon Trenches is a raw and engaging look at how one of the most influential men in fashion survived and thrived in a notoriously cutthroat industry.
