“#Andr\u00e9 Leon Talley sticks up for Anna Wintour<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Andr\u00e9 Leon Talley has put his feud with Vogue editor Anna Wintour aside this week and rushed to her defense against charges of racism at the fashion mag.<\/p>\n

Talley \u2014 who was once Wintour\u2019s trusted No. 2 \u2014 supported her Wednesday against a New York Times expos\u00e9<\/a>\u00a0that revealed bigotry at Vogue, even though he recently blasted her as a \u201ccolonial broad\u201d who is steeped in \u201cwhite privilege.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnna made history by making me the first African American male EVER to be named as creative director of Vogue, in 1988. She crashed the glass ceiling,\u201d he wrote on Instagram, along with an image of them<\/a> at the Met Ball in 1999.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom there, the possibility of Sir @edwardenninful became the first black male to EVER become editor in chief of Vogue UK.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fashionable Talley also recalled what they wore that night.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the realm of possibility of forgiveness, yours truly, in Tom Ford, custom, by @gucci and Dame Anna Wintour in Galliano couture @dior climbing the stairs to the Met Gala\u2026those were the halcyon days when we were at the apex of the high fashion world. We were our younger better angels.\u201d<\/p>\n

The post was liked by Edward Enninful and designers including Marc Jacobs, who added: \u201cPossibility is all we have. And luckily that is a lot. Possibility allows for hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talley\u2019s show of support comes after he ripped Wintour in his recently released memoir \u201cThe Chiffon Trenches\u201d for firing him from working at the famous Met Gala in favor of a young YouTube<\/a>r. He wrote Wintour is \u201cnot capable\u201d of \u201chuman kindness.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an interview about the book, he said Wintour is \u201ca colonial dame, she comes from British, she\u2019s part of an environment of colonialism. She is entitled and I do not think she will ever let anything get in the way of her white privilege.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the Times expos\u00e9, Wintour copped to acting poorly when it comes to issues of race.<\/p>\n

\u201cI strongly believe that the most important thing any of us can do in our work is to provide opportunities for those who may not have had access to them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cUndoubtedly, I have made mistakes along the way, and if any mistakes were made at Vogue under my watch, they are mine to own and remedy and I am committed to doing the work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talley had also praised his former boss for putting Naomi Campbell on the cover of the coveted September issue \u2014 saying it would go some way to healing wounds.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
