ANDRÉ LEON TALLEY André Leon Talley is a writer lauded and published across many genres, the curator of amazing fashion and celebrity events, a charming television and film personality, and an inspiration to all SCAD students, alumni, faculty and staff. As contributing editor to Vogue, André Leon Talley regularly pens a witty, pithy column called “Life with André,” and has often helmed special fashion and celebrity projects for the magazine, including “A Celebration of Oscar Fashion,” a retrospective of famous Oscar gowns held during the 79th Academy Awards. Talley has been an integral part of the preeminent fashion magazine for more than 25 years, and prior to that was at Interview magazine during Andy Warhol’s tenure. Talley is the author of two books, “A.L.T.: A Memoir” and “A.L.T. 365+.” The memoir pays homage to the two extraordinary women who shaped Talley’s life—his grandmother Bennie Frances Davis who raised him, and Diana Vreeland, the legendary style authority who became his mentor. The monograph captures one entire year in Talley’s celebrity-drenched life—complete with photos of Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, the front rows at major fashion shows, and even Good Friday services at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, where Talley is a member and is deeply involved in the life of the church. Recognized for his amazing eye and insightful and entertaining perspective, Talley regularly appears on television and in film. Among his multitude of media credits is HBO’s “Sex and the City,” and films “The September Issue,” about the making of Vogue’s fall fashion magazine, “Catwalk,” celebrating the rise of the supermodel, and “Valentino: The Last Emperor,” detailing the life of haute couture designer Valentino Garavani. Currently, Talley can be seen on the judges’ panel of The CW’s “America’s Next Top Model.” In 2003 Talley was honored with the Council of Fashion Designers of America Eugenia Sheppard Award for Excellence in Fashion Journalism, and in 2008, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree by SCAD in recognition of his contributions to the university. Today, in addition to his work at Vogue and his many award-winning style and fashion pursuits, Talley regularly mentors SCAD students and serves as a member of the Board of Trustees.
André Leon Talley Lifetime Achievement Award This year marks the 10th anniversary of SCAD honoring André Leon Talley with a Lifetime Achievement Award. The award was subsequently renamed in his honor, and has since been presented to other fashion legends: Ruben and Isabel Toledo John Galliano Marc Jacobs Vera Wang Tom Ford Zac Posen Miuccia Prada Karl Lagerfeld Oscar de la Renta

DIANE VON FURSTENBERG 2010 André Leon Talley Lifetime Achievement Award Diane von Furstenberg first arrived in the fashion world in 1972 with her iconic wrap dress, the seed of what is today a full fashion house. By 1976, the millions of wrap dresses sold had come to symbolize female power and freedom to an entire generation. The effect of this garment on women and the fashion industry is so profound that it is now part of the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian Institution. In 1997, after a hiatus from fashion, she re-emerged on the New York fashion scene to relaunch the dress that started it all and began transforming her company into the global luxury lifestyle brand it is today. Headquartered in New York City, there are currently 33 freestanding DVF boutiques worldwide, and DVF collections are also sold in select retail specialty stores in more than 71 countries. As a longtime resident of New York’s Meatpacking District, von Furstenberg is a vocal member of the local community. She opens her studio on a regular basis to host cultural events and is actively involved in the campaign to save and redevelop the historical High Line railway. A firm believer in the power of women, she sits on the board of Vital Voices, a women’s leadership organization that empowers emerging women leaders and social entrepreneurs around the world. In 2004, she was presented with an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree from SCAD. In 2005, von Furstenberg was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America for her impact on fashion and one year later, was elected president of the organization, an office she continues to hold.

In its purest form, fashion is an impeccably made garment, a stunning accessory, and the perfect shoe. But this catalog is about more than fashion. It represents the rich environment that is SCAD. Kudos to the student models, jewelry designers, photographers and everyone else who helped make this book—if you dream it, you can make it at SCAD. Under the auspicious guidance of illustrious SCAD faculty and Style Lab mentors Angel Sanchez and Bryan Bradley at SCAD Atlanta and Catherine Malandrino and Zac Posen at SCAD Savannah, students created collections that are couture, cavalier and completely cutting-edge. SCAD students and alumni are about discovery ‌ they are daring, high-flying creators, and I am proud to share their work with you.

BRYAN BRADLEY
ZAC POSEN
After apprenticing at several prestigious New York fashion houses, including Calvin Klein, in 1998 Bryan Bradley launched his New York clothing label. Tuleh became the delight of New York’s social set, who were drawn to his use of colorful prints, embellished fabrics, deep necklines and ruffled hemlines. The line was inspired by author Mary McCarthy’s “Vassar girls” and “all working girls who need to get dressed.” Bradley’s mission is American fashion in the tradition of James Galanos, Pauline Trigère and Bill Blass—a new salon for a new generation. Often hand-dyed, clothes from Tuleh reflect what Bradley calls “the woman in the mirror,” her moods, her ideals and her life. Aerin and Jane Lauder, Marisa Tomei, Chloë Sevigny, Ashley Judd and Cameron Diaz are just a few of Tuleh’s celebrity fans.
Born and raised in lower Manhattan, designer Zac Posen pursued fashion from an early age, landing a coveted internship when he was 16 at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art under curator Richard Martin. Later, Posen was accepted into the fashion program at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design at the University of the Arts, London.
Participating students: Rebecca Formichella, Susan Schnedeker, Paula Smith, Rita Watson and Rachel Wertz
Upon returning to New York, he was chosen to present a capsule collection as part of GenArt’s “Fresh Face in Fashion 2001.” Posen established his design studio in Tribeca, and in February 2002, the 21-year-old Posen debuted his ready-to-wear collection in New York City. The much-lauded presentation signaled the presence of a new force within international fashion. Posen continues to receive awards and accolades, including Swarovski’s Perry Ellis Award for Womenswear in 2004 by the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and the first André Leon Talley New Look Award by SCAD. Participating students: Jessie Dib, April Johnston, Rachael Marshall, Audra Noyes, Emily Pollard, Hannah Polskin, Lauren Rinaldi, Veronica Rodriguez and Marcela Ruiz
CATHERINE MALANDRINO
ANGEL SANCHEZ
Since starting her own label in 2001, Catherine Malandrino has woven together the energy of Manhattan with the romance and elegance of Paris. Born in Grenoble, France, Malandrino began her career in Paris after graduating from Esmod. She worked in the houses of Dorothée Bis, Louis Féraud, Emanuel Ungaro, and in the ’90s was the creative force behind the French label Et Vous.
Angel Sanchez has been captivated by fashion since spending his childhood surrounded by dress forms and fabrics in his mother’s Venezuelan atelier. But it wasn’t until 1987, after two years as an architect, that Sanchez returned to his fashion design roots. He quickly rose to fame throughout Latin America, and expanded internationally in 1997 when the company headquartered in New York City. In 1999 Sanchez debuted his bridal collection in the U.S. and presented his evening collection during New York Fashion Week in Bryant Park.
Malandrino currently designs two collections: her contemporary Catherine Malandrino line and her couture runway line, Malandrino, which features shoes, jewelry, handbags and belts. Malandrino boutiques grace the St. Germain in Paris and can be found in Moscow, Istanbul, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Japan. The Malandrino and Catherine Malandrino collections are also available in select department stores and specialized boutiques worldwide. Participating students: Jaime Barker, Abigail Cucolo, Kelsey Drago, Megan Euell, Ji Young Jung, Melanie Ray and Julie Tierney
Today Sanchez is renowned worldwide for bridal and eveningwear designs that reflect his architectural discipline combined with the timeless perfection of traditional couture dressmaking. Devotees include Salma Hayek, Giselle Bündchen, Beyoncé, Eva Longoria Parker, America Ferrara, Iman, Elizabeth Hurley and Sandra Bullock. Angel Sanchez eveningwear and bridal collections are available in the best specialty department stores and boutiques in the U.S. and internationally.
