During the taping of a recent interview, André Leon Talley “bristled” at the idea that Vogue chief Anna Wintour made his career, we’re told.
The magazine’s former creative director — who says in his new memoir that Wintour “isn’t capable of human kindness” — sat for an interview for today’s episode of “Tamron Hall Show,” and an insider told us, “He is clear that Anna Wintour did not make him, and [the question] touched a nerve.”
The source explained: “[It seems] a lot of his unhappiness is based on how she is the result of good marketing. He actually studied and put in the work she got credit for during their partnership.”
Talley has acknowledged that he owes a great deal to Wintour professionally. But a source close to him says, “André worked with [former Vogue Editor-in-Chief] Diana Vreeland before Anna, and is about cultivating relationships, whereas Anna is more about playing the game and ruling with fear.”
Talley worked for Vreeland at the Costume Institute before joining Vogue in the early ’80s. He worked with Wintour on and off until 2018, when he was replaced as Vogue’s red-carpet reporter at the Met Ball.
The book, “The Chiffon Trenches,” hit shelves Tuesday.
