If you find yourself in Atlanta, make a point to step inside SCADFASH (1600 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309) for the Andre Leon Talley “Style Is Forever” exhibition. More than a fashion display, the exhibition offers an intimate portrait of one of the most influential voices the industry has ever known.
Visitors are invited into Talley’s world through a sweeping presentation of his iconic wardrobe, featuring looks worn to red carpets, the Met Gala, and countless cultural moments that defined decades of fashion history. The garments are bold and expressive, reflecting his unmistakable presence and point of view. The exhibition is further enriched with personal photographs and journal entries, offering deeper insight into the experiences, relationships, and milestones that shaped his storied career.
Yet Andre Leon Talley’s legacy extends far beyond clothes. His true impact lived in the power of his pen and the depth of his intellect. Through scholarship, authority, and an unparalleled command of fashion history, he expanded the language of style and carved space in some of the most elite rooms in the world. His voice reshaped how fashion was discussed, understood, and respected, laying a foundation that allowed so many of us to dream bigger, reach higher, and move with intention.
Rooted in purpose and guided by vision, Andre Leon Talley’s influence continues to resonate well beyond the walls of any museum. On Martin Luther King Day, the exhibition serves as a powerful reminder to walk boldly in our calling and to strive, each day, to be our ancestors’ wildest dreams—carrying forward a legacy built on excellence, courage, and unwavering belief.
ATL FOREVER,
