Always in Vogue

-

THE memorial service for pioneering editor-at-large at Vogue André Leon Talley — dubbed “the pharaoh of fabulosity” by one staffer — will be held Friday at 11 a.m. at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem. Guests expected to celebrate the largerthan-life editor include a host of fashion’s finest, among them Talley’s former frenemy Anna Wintour, Diane von Furstenber­g and Tom Ford. Talley, who died at 73 in January, was the first black man to be named creative director at Vogue and a fixture in fashion front rows. Wintour said of Talley, “He was magnificen­t and erudite and wickedly funny.”
