Talley spent three decades in a senior editorial role at the celebrated Vogue magazine and once said he reached a glass ceiling, that he was unable to crack as Black man working in high fashion. It’s a sad sentiment echoed by many people of color trying to scale the insular world of fashion magazine journalism.
“Vogue’s been good to me, but how many people of color have walked through the hallways of Vogue in a position of leadership or responsibility as I did? I can count them on my hand. How many people of color have had positions at the most important fashion magazine in the world?”
