Story
On the morning of March 27, 1995, four quick shots cracked through Milan’s elegant streets. Maurizio Gucci, heir to the fabulous fashion dynasty, had been ambushed, slain on the steps to his office by an unknown gunman. Two years later, Milan’s chief of police entered the sumptuous palazzo of Maurizio’s ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiani - nicknamed “the Black Widow” by the press - and arrested her for the murder. Did Patrizia kill her ex-husband because his spending was wildly out of control? Or is it possible Patrizia didn’t do it at all?

Story
As a child, Anna Wintour was a tomboy with no apparent interest in clothing, but, seduced by the miniskirts and bob haircuts of swinging 1960s London, she grew into a fashion-obsessed teenager. Her father, the influential editor of the Evening Standard, loomed large in her life, and once he decided she should become editor in chief of Vogue, she never looked back. Impatient to start her career, she left high school and got a job at a fashionable boutique in London—an experience that would be the first of many defeats.

In business he created a multimillion-pound luxury brand that became a favourite with both celebrities and royalty, most famously the Duchess of Cambridge, who wore a McQueen dress on her wedding day.

This is my story, from a crumbling apartment in Central Falls, Rhode Island, to the stage in New York City, and beyond. This is the path I took to finding my purpose and my strength, but also to finding my voice in a world that didn't always see me. As I wrote Finding Me, my eyes were open to the truth of how our stories are often not given close examination. They are bogarted, reinvented to fit into a crazy, competitive, judgmental world. So I wrote this for anyone who is searching for a way to understand and overcome a complicated past, let go of shame and find acceptance.

This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

Summary
Discover what truly happens behind the scenes in the world of high fashion in this detailed, storied memoir from fashion icon and former Vogue creative director André Leon Talley.
During André Leon Talley's first magazine job assisting Andy Warhol at Interview, a fateful meeting with Karl Lagerfeld began a decade's long friendship with the enigmatic, often caustic designer. Propelled into the upper echelons by his knowledge and adoration of fashion, Talley moved to Paris as bureau chief of John Fairchild's Women's Wear Daily, befriending fashion's most important designers. But as Talley made friends, he also made enemies. A racially tinged encounter with a member of the house of Yves Saint Laurent sent him back to New York and into the offices of Vogue under Grace Mirabella. There, he developed an unlikely but intimate friendship with Anna Wintour, and as she rose to the top of Vogue's masthead, Talley became the most influential man in fashion.
The Chiffon Trenches is a candid look at the who's who of the last 50 years of fashion and proof that fact is always devilishly more fascinating than fiction. André Leon Talley's engaging and detailed memoir is his story of surviving and thriving in the notoriously cutthroat fashion industry amidst racism, homophobia and other challenges to become one of the most legendary voices and faces in fashion journalism.
Critic reviews
"A memoir on thriving and surviving the cut-throat fashion industry amid racism and homophobia, The Chiffon Trenches charts Talley’s rise from humble beginnings to becoming one of the most influential men in fashion. From Talley’s first job assisting Andy Warhol at a fashion magazine, to his friendships with the late Karl Lagerfeld and Anna Wintour, The Chiffon Trenches makes for captivating reading for fashion fans and beyond." (Another Magazine)
"What he gives us, ultimately, is a circus the likes of which, given present circumstances, we may never see again. My advice is to do as I did: apply a good squirt of Fracas to your wrists, and sit back and enjoy the lunatic ride." (Observer, Book of the Week)
"Ideal reading material for anyone who found The Devil Wears Prada addictive but now needs a stronger hit. It is brimful of toxic behaviour and noxious values, which makes it perfect consolation, too, for lockdown." (Daily Telegraph)

Thank goodness Mr Leon Talley narrated this excellent book, as it truly brings the stories to life.
What a wonderful, genuine, honest and fascinating account of Mr Leon Talley’s experiences. This book gives you a unique insight into the golden era of fashion journalism; whilst also coming from a place of authenticity and true joy the author experienced from both his career, mentors and friends. What is refreshing about Mr Leon Talley’s book, is that he speaks candidly, yet with great respect. An eccentric, brave and inspiring book. I particularly liked an ending message, where Mr Leon Talley clarifies that in life, kindness and love are of the upmost importance.

Andre is my new fantasy dinner party guest!
I absolutely loved this book, it is peppered with fascinating glimpses into the lives of the most famous people in fashion and art. ALT was on the front row for all of it and tells you his story like he is chatting to you on his couch. I often wondered who the enormously tall and stylish chap was sitting with Anna Wintour was and now I know and I’m a little bit in love with him.

Honest, insightful & fashionable.
From his days as a child, working with Andy Warhol, to how he got to Vogue. His experiences with Anna Wintour, Naomi Campbell, Karl Lagerfeld, Grace Coddington and YSL to name a few.
It was interesting to hear of the struggles and barriers of not just a black man, but also a black LGBTQ+ man of a certain age and the determination to be successful and powerful.

Scathing and scandalous
If you loved The Vanity Fair Diaries you will go gaga for this. ALT does not hold back as he dishes the dirt on all the biggest fashion industry insiders, but also writes movingly about how traumatic childhood experiences shaped his adult life and career. His distinctive voice and narration make the audiobook all the more enjoyable.

It's basically a long winded name dropping exercise, it's so cringeworthy. As for delivery, to say he boasts of speaking french fluently, his english pronunciation of some words throughout is mumbled and unclear.

A personal perspective of 40 years
I was quite excited when I realised Mr Talley was going to read his book. Sometimes he stumbled over his grammar pausing at the wrong place however, this is the only criticism I have.
The who is who of the fashion world flows from his personal perspective. He was sometimes treated quite badly I feel but he was quite a forgiving character who lived his life so fully. He showed throughout his lifetime how it is possible to achieve your dreams when you maintain your focus. A really enjoyable listen to those who are interested in going into fashion. Be forewarned they seem to be shark infested waters so you’ll need your wits about you to find the genuine people!!

deeply moved and impressed
One would think André would be superficial. Not in the least. When I finished the book I just thought wha brilliant man! I highly recommend André's autobiography as it doesn't only demonstrate eloquence and style, but also reflects a wonderful sense of humour, kindness and humanity. What a humble and generous man. I had no idea!
If I had to sum up his book, I'd say that it is an homage to love, friendship and to an insatiable curiosity and passion for life and everything that is beautyful.
This audiobook is not only suitable for fashion victims, but for everyone. I would even go as far as saying that it is an incredibly important read for anyone who wants to understand modern culture and it's challenge to preserve meaning. André is a fountain of knowledge and sums up the past 50 years of popular culture and fashion in a way that is gripping, exciting, warm, relevant, gentle, attentive and yet absolutely fierce and bolt. I don't think this book contains even just a dull second!
It is also an important and necessary read for anyone who wants to understand the role, position and situation as well as challenges of people of colour in arts, culture and fashion right now. He reminds us not to take our liberties for granted and honours the significance and importants of certain black men and women who influence our current lifes.
Times are changing and we can hardly keep up understanding why because it happens so fast. This also applies to the world of fashion and popular culture. André's book makes one understand the influence of digitalisation on our life's better, without being negative or resentful. He doesn't make any predictions, but embraces all the change that's happening. His gaze and perspective is a always a perspective of positivity, love, strong faith and hope!
