 Of the recent reads, Andre Leon Talley’s “The Chiffon Trenches” has me dreaming, doodling and rereading most. From the textiles to personas, every reference has me spiraling into research heaven. This illustration kind of just poured out while perusing ALT’s intimate history with knee socks. Andre as a youth in today’s New York.
