Je t'adore Andre (pt. trois): Andre J.

Hate it or love it I know fierce when I see it and Andre J. is fierrrrrcccccccccce! This party promoter/model/publicist/who knows how many other things rocks my world. With Andre J. there are no labels and everything around him seems beautiful and interesting.









BTW, he was even on the cover of French Vogue, jealous?!

Je t'adore Andre (pt. deux): Andre 3000.

The next person up is Andre 3000 someone with a whole lotta style. He's a man who knows how to take a fashion risk and it very often pays off.


















Never without a hat and a crisp white shirt this half of rap duo Outkast is always on point and gets extra snaps for his never-ending individuality. I'm enjoying the preppy twist to his image lately and am slowly starting to see his influence in the streets it's like country club/Jane and Finch chic. His clothing label Benjamin Bixby is something I would be dying to get my hands on if it weren't for the fact that I'm a woman but fellas can feel free to check it out!

Je t'adore Andre...(pt. un): Andre Leon Talley.










Editor-at-large at Vogue Andre Leon Talley is a treasure. What die-hard The Hills fan can forget when he told Whitney she missed her calling as a model. He's styled everyone from Jennifer Hudson to Sarah Jessica Parker/Carrie Bradshaw and has mentored many young designers as well as people in the entertainment industry as well. I'll personally never forget reading that he once told fashion reporter Jeanne Beker to lose her guilt about wearing fur saying, "wear it before it eats you!"


But there's more to the man amidst the flashing lights. Hailing from Durham, North Carolina he went on to receive a bachelor degree at North Carolina Central University and a Master's in French at Brown. He accredits much of his stylish upbringing to his grandmother and expresses gratitude to Vogue darling Diana Vreeland for mentoring him. You can read more about his life and see it in pics in both of his books: A.L.T. A Memoir, and A.L.T. 365.






I ask, what is not to love about this man?! I absolutely adore him, he's regal as all hell and the man rocks a fur coat better than I'll ever know how to!
