A.L.T. 365+ (2005) is a lavish visual memoir by the late André Leon Talley, the iconic fashion journalist and former creative director of Vogue. This opulent book—structured as a day-by-day diary—showcases Talley’s extraordinary life through personal photographs, designer sketches, runway moments, and intimate encounters with legends like Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld, and Diana Vreeland. More than a scrapbook, it’s a celebration of Black excellence in fashion, blending glamour with Talley’s signature wit and unapologetic passion for beauty.
(*Fun fact: The book’s title nods to Talley’s initials and his belief that style should be lived “365+ days a year.”)
