More Memo Pad
![André Leon Talley’s new memoir has achieved bestseller status.
The author’s new memoir has landed on the @nytimes nonfiction hardcover bestseller list in about a week’s time.
"The Chiffon Trenches” created a firestorm of publicity in recent weeks, primarily due to Talley’s critique of his former boss, Vogue’s Anna Wintour. The book centers on his storied career, but it also addresses other aspects of his life like sexual abuse, weight struggles and ageism.
Talley’s recent interviews with Gayle King on “CBS This Morning” and Tamron Hall on her eponymous talk show surely helped to sell a few books. But Talley said he was still surprised to make the bestseller list in seven days.
“Thrilled but kind of stunned by the whole thing,” Talley said, adding the accolade has been “somewhat distilled by this whole horror that has happened in Minneapolis [referring to the death of George Floyd and recent riots]. Not just that horror but the horror of Eric Garner, I can’t breathe, Black Lives Matter…I am very concerned with this situation where they are burning down buildings and taking to the streets with COVID-19. A looter was shot dead last night.”
Here is a photo of Talley at the CFDA Awards Dinner in 1991 from the WWD Archives.
