In his memoir,\u00a0<em>The Chiffon Trenches<\/em>, Andre detailed his difficulties growing up within that context, considering his large size as a Black man (he was 6&#8217;6&#8243;) and his penchant for luxury fashion and lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-7\">In the documentary\u00a0<a  href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KzZkVGCY5rY\"  target=\"_blank\"  ><em>The Gospel According to Andre<\/em><\/a>, the writer described his life growing up as an outsider and how he was taunted and even had rocks thrown at him.

He first apprenticed for former <em>Vogue\u00a0<\/em>editor-in-chief\u00a0<strong>Diana Vreeland\u00a0<\/strong>who then served as a Special Consultant for the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Diana was so impressed with her new apprentice&#8217;s skills she connected him to <strong>Andy Warhol<\/strong>, granting him a job at Andy&#8217;s <em>Interview <\/em>magazine. From there, the style obsessive went on to work for\u00a0<em>Women&#8217;s Wear Daily<\/em>, further utilizing his French skills by becoming the publication&#8217;s Paris bureau chief.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-9\">Due to his involvement with those circles, Andre indulged in the golden age of Manhattan nightlife, frequenting the over-the-top parties at Studio 54 during the late &#8217;70s with Warhol, Vreeland, and other staples like designers <strong>Diane Von Furstenberg<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Halston<\/strong>, and <strong>Karl Lagerfeld<\/strong>, singers <strong>Diana Ross\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Grace Jones<\/strong>, and more. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-10\">&#8220;It was the music and the mix of people; it was the fashion and the mix of people.

There he established a close relationship to Editor-in-Chief <a  href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/celeb\/anna-wintour\/\"  ><strong>Anna Wintour<\/strong><\/a>. Although he moved on to working with\u00a0<em>W\u00a0<\/em>in 1995, he did return to\u00a0<em>Vogue\u00a0<\/em>as a contributing editor and then Editor-at-Large, writing columns that brought a different vision and charismatic voice to the forefront.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-12\">&#8220;What moves him is that idea [of] just do it, think it, wear it &#8212; there is no hesitation,&#8221; designer <strong>Marc Jacobs\u00a0<\/strong>stated of Andre and his living-out-loud ethos which undoubtedly influenced the magazine&#8217;s outlook on fashion.
