Influential fashion journalist and former editor-at-large of US Vogue, Andre Leon Talley, has died at the age of 73.
The writer passed away in hospital in New York, according to TMZ. A source told the publication that Talley had been battling an unspecified illness.
The journalist was a key figure in creating Vogue's vision and direction during the 1980s and 1990s as he worked his way up the seniority ladder to eventually become the news director - a role he held from 1983 to 1987.
