One my favorite things is to go to the provinces of Russia and see the 18th century wood churches with the onion dome architecture. These humble wonders of incredible imagination of architects that were obviously not living in places like Paris or London, but they've created these amazing churches.

Andre Leon Talley
The late Estee Lauder says you can never wear white shoes after Labor Day. But of course, in today's world, that does not exist.
Andre Leon Talley
Beauty is health. Health is beauty.
Andre Leon Talley
The happiest moments of my childhood were spent on my grandmother's front porch in Durham, N.C., or at her sister's farmhouse in Orange County, where chickens paraded outside the kitchen's screen door and hams were cured in the smokehouse.
Andre Leon Talley
Wearing clothes should be a personal narrative of emotion. I always respond to fashion in an emotional way.
Andre Leon Talley
I love Russian culture. I don't know the young Russia, I'm not at all familiar with young Russia, but the old school Russia is good enough for me for the moment.
Andre Leon Talley
I only take risks in couture, but I don't take risks in athleticism.
Andre Leon Talley
