Andre Leon Talley and Anna Wintourphoto by Greg Kessler on Style.com
Vogue editor-at-large, Andre Leon Talley, recently talked to fashion students of the Art Institute of Philadelphia about his career. He made 6 points that students as well as current professionals can learn from…
1) “Remember where you came from and how important that is, and that will sustain you.”
2) “Always be curious and do your research.”
3) “Travel and find beauty and style where you go.”
4) “Practice good manners.”
5) “Fetch coffee if you have to.” (This is referring to the time he worked for Andy Warhol and only made $50 a week, lived at the YMCA, and was introduced to the world through that job.)
6) “Find a mentor.” Talley counts Diana Vreeland as his first big mentor and Anna Wintour as his current mentor.
