A year after the famed fashion editor’s passing, Christie’s is putting Talley’s collection of fashion, furniture, and fine art up for sale.
he proudly stated that he had a photographic memory. “I’ve never had a diary in my life,” he said. “Everything is in my head. I’ve never taken a note on a front row of a fashion show in my entire career. I can remember things that happened to me long ago: things impressed me, and therefore, I have retained them.” Two years later, in January 2022, the tastemaker, author, academic, and trailblazing journalist passed away at 73 years old.
That treasure trove of ephemera will soon be on sale at Christie’s New York auction house. From January 27 to February 17, the public will be able to purchase items from Talley’s personal collection, which is being offered by the late fashion editor’s estate. Proceeds will benefit establishments that were near and dear to Talley during his lifetime—the Abyssinian Baptist Church in the City of New York and the Mt. Sinai Missionary Baptist Church in Durham, North Carolina.
