Fashion designer, and close friend of Talley’s, Diane von Furstenberg, also shared a touching tribute on Instagram. It reads, “Good bye darling André … no one saw the world in a more elegant and glamorous way than you did … no one was more soulful and grander than you were.” She continues, “the world will be less joyful now … I have loved you and laughed with you for 45 years…. I will miss your loud screams and your loyal friendship…I love you soooo much.”
