Though we kind-of-sort-of hoped Anna Wintour wouldn't allow Andre Leon Talley's appearance on America's Next Top Model - considering that it took eight years for him to finally do so - we look forward to Andre's custom Ralph Rucci capes during his debut not that we're going to actually watch the next season.
Wintour's actual response:
"Fine, André. Just let me know when you’re going to do it and how it’s going."
Or does that mean, "Just let me know when it's over, so you can return back to real models in the real fashion world?" Oop!
About Andre's capes:
“I went to Ralph Rucci when I started this thing. We
came up with these wonderful
designs that are based on 17th-century Edo
samurai tunic-coats. And Ralph, who is extraordinarily gifted,
understood my desire to have something that would pop on TV.”
This thing? Classic. And we die!
The good thing to come out of all of this just may be that Ralph Rucci may receive his well-needed press and attention. Though we wouldn't put it past Tyra to direct everyone's attention back to, well, herself.
