A Capturing Memoir

André's writing takes you through the different eras and situations he's lived through with a through line of strong powerful women in the industry. I wish that he had lived to see these times since very few people have the authority to speak on the history or acknowledge the process of a person's fashion choices and styling. A great read and a sad read.
