Andre Leon Talley begins by talking about his family and how they defined who he is today. He mentions that from the age of 9 he was reading Vogue magazine, tearing pictures out and pinning them up onto the wall. He said his whole universe revolved around Vogue. After he graduated from Brown University he went to New York where the first person he wanted to meet was Diana Vreeland.
He made a surreal swimsuit out of metal discs for Diana Vreeland's office and was subsequently made into her assistant. He tells of many stories involving his time with Mrs Vreeland and he demands. He says that it was always a process of imagination pushing him to find a solution to all the creative problems he faced.
After working for Diana Vreeland he went to work for Andy Warhol at Interview magazine. He said work began at Noon and life started at 6 when he would go to all these amazing places with Andy Warhol's entourage. His first big interview was with Karl Lagerfeld in May 1975.
