The Chiffon Trenches (2020)

André Leon Talley's account of decades at Vogue, from learning the ropes under Diana Vreeland to his long, tumultuous working relationship with Anna Wintour. The voice is conversational and unguarded, swinging between serious reflection and saucy anecdotes about the famous. Read it for the gossip if you like; you still come away understanding how much the job gave him and how much it took.
