André Talley, the larger-than-life fashion editor who shattered his industry’s glass ceiling when he went from the Jim Crow South to the front rows of Paris couture, parlaying his encyclopedic knowledge of fashion history and his quick wit into roles as author, public speaker, television personality and curator, died on Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2022. He was 73. His death, after a series of health struggles, was confirmed by his friend Darren Walker, the president of the Ford Foundation. (Evan Sung/The New York Times)
