The death of fashion icon André Leon Talley shocked the world and everyone who knew and loved him.
Those who were close to him shared their memories and paid tribute to Talley. One of those people was Naomi Campbell, Talley’s mentee and closet friend.
On her Instagram, Campbell posted a couple of throwback photos of both of them as she reflected on their friendship and time together.
“Dear André, Words cannot describe what it feels like knowing you are no longer with us in the physical form,” Campbell wrote. “Like everyone who loves you my heart skipped a beat. When I heard I reached out to @dvf who let me know you went peacefully without pain. So much to say but can’t say all, from flying in helicopters in Brazil and landing in a football field in a storm, to running around Moscow buying Russian dolls and typical Russian hats, to dancing around in my hotel room in Paris and showing you different walks, to hosting my 40th birthday party in Antibes, to our last trip in 2019 to Nigeria. Africa.”
