POPARCHIVES BY DUSTIN PITTMAN _ ANDRE LEON TALLEY

FROM THE JOURNALS OF PHOTOGRAPHER  _  DUSTIN PITTMAN

IN FASHION CIRCLES, ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY IS "ANDRE"                

Back in 1977, before Michelle Obama, Oprah, Venus Williams, Jason Wu and Tracy Reese there was a time when Andre Leon Talley and I worked regularly together for W and WWD every day and into the night for 6 years. And what a time it was. YSL, Valentino, Karl, Halston, Oscar, Diana, Paloma, Calvin, Ralph, Nan, Diane, Steven, Georgio, Fernando, and on and on. 

I loved working with Andre. He is the Master of Flash. The Wizard of Style.

The Dictator of fashion In and Out.
