André Leon Talley ha sido un referente en el mundo de la moda durante tanto tiempo que cuesta imaginar una época en la que no estuviera definiendo lo que es el estilo. En esta ocasión, la documentalista Kate Novack traza conexiones inexploradas hasta la fecha para arrojar luz a la infancia de André y la influencia de su abuela o su juventud en la Iglesia Afroamericana, así como su rol pionero en publicaciones como Vogue. Con un rico material de archivo, asistimos con André a algunos de los grandes momentos de la historia de la moda y de la cultura norteamericana del siglo XX.

In an era known for protests and sit-ins, the 1973 Grand Divertissement at Versailles, made a statement of its own - a fashion statement. The legendary event pitting the five lions of French couture Givenchy, Dior, Ungaro, Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Cardin with five American designers Halston, Oscar de la Renta, Anne Klein, Stephen Burrows and Bill Blass created a cross-stitch of change across fashion, race, business and catwalks. When African American models Bethann Hardison, Pat Cleveland, Alva Chinn, Billie Blair, Norma Jean Darden, Barbara Jackson, Jennifer Brice, Romana Saunders and Amina Warsuma boarded the plane to Paris, they had no idea they would help change the course of fashion and pull off its biggest coup.
