00:09Anna Wintour has called you the fashion historian.
00:13The first black creative director at Vogue magazine.
00:17He survived a period of time being the only one.
00:22Everyone was white. Everyone was thin.
00:24And he knew he had to be better than everybody else.
00:28He opened the door for so many people.
00:31He was like the designer whisperer.
00:34He was passionate about things he hated.
00:36He was passionate about things he loved.
00:39Andre, I love you. Oh my God, Andre.
00:42But they're not there at midnight or 1 a.m.
00:45when there's all the thoughts in your head.
00:47Behind this facade of grandeur,
00:50there was this incredible wise man and very brave man.

01:08I am of the opinion
01:10that we have not yet heard fully
01:13the importance of Andre Leontali.
