Fashion Legend André Leon Talley Critiques Paul Manafort's Expensive Clothes (HBO)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 авг 2018
- Paul Manafort, the former chair of President Trump’s campaign, is on trial this week for bank fraud and tax evasion. But his biggest crime of all appears to be one of fashion, if the evidence introduced so far in the case is any indication.
Prosecutors, making the case that Manafort hid tens of millions of dollars that he made as a consultant for a Ukrainian politician, said he spent $1.3 million on menswear alone in a four year period.
The singer Dolly Parton once said, "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap," but even that doesn't quite do Manafort's purchases justice. So we got fashion legend and former Vogue editor-at-large André Leon Talley to critique Manafort's style.
"He's the alpha gangster of the moment," said Talley. "He has taken a lavish luxury and gangster greed to the highest level. And I don't quite understand what his taste level was."
Talley wasn't a fan of Manafort's expensive purchases, including the infamous $15,000 ostrich jacket ("Simply a kind of absurd, misinformed kind of luxury") and the $18,500 python jacket ("It's just snake. It's just slithering glossy snake.")
"Maybe when you were hobnobbing with the oligarchs of Russia on the weekends and you're going to brunch or lunch over there with the oligarchs you have to wear ostrich or python to impress them," Talley mused.

Andre Leon Talley is Savage!😂😂😂😂
Wow, did Andre just improvise that shade? No wonder he is a world class critic
Can we just have him do a mini series throughout the trial lol
LOVE this. I definitely watch more. Give me more Leon !
Oh yes please!!!!!
Best idea I heard all week...brilliant!!
I'd want to hear Andre's opinion about Manafort not wearing socks.
“When you’re hobnobbing with the oligarchs of Russia.” 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Andre has mopped the FLOOR with this dude and he did it in his fadora, Kaftan and sash 👏🏾 werk.
"I guess if you're rinsing your hair in Grecian formula to make it look like you don't have any grey hairs, you would do this" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I heart this so hard!!!!! Andre Leon Talley is everything. Please order 10 more episodes.
Leon is Legend, what hes talkin'; on point .
“He went to bijan and lost his mind”
“ if your renting your hair .... you would do this”
LOVE this analysis, I'd like him to do more of these. How about doing one on Trump? That would be such a hoot😉
Therese Nydahl Yeeeees....if he could do trump...that would be...GREAT!😀
FIRE SIGN That would be so fabulous, right?😂😂😂
Y'all he's wearing a Kaftan and Basotho cloak, and he's wearing them very fashionably too...
B he’s always wearing that!! Like a lazy walrus, it’s past time for him to turn to a new position to catch the sun’s rays.
Man what he’s wearing looks comfortable. Must really let your ass breathe.
Fintan my guy
He was an ICON & Legend, I saw the news last night n I teared up, I'm afraid they wasn't kind to him 😔 in his last days, he is a fashion legend an icon. I always wanted to meet him, I watch his documentary 3 time since it came out. He was fabulous, May he rest in fabulosity 🍾🥂🙏🏼💚
LOL so much shade i love this so much
lol hilarious, I love his expressions lol
A Master Of His Craft, Knowledge Unparalleled, Class of Unparalleled, O, Sir you will be missed every time I watch a runway show, open a magazine, or try on a new frock to strut.
O M G. This is SO good!!! “Almost a clown plaid”
Oh my goodness I had to click, it was involuntary really. I was not disappointed in the least.
He is a gem
ALT needs a show in Viceland just critiquing everyone.
I mean...where's the lie, though? 😂😂
His wardrobe screamed: Fuggedaboutit Couture 🤣🤣
Spot on. All of it. Especially Bon Fire Of The Vanities ...!!
This was my favorite line ever.
totally totally totally agree! God i have spent some money on suits. I even have one suit that cost over 3k and for what Paul Manafort paid for his, they are horrendously overpriced, boxy, gaudy. You can buy some really nice suits for 1800 - 2500 that look a whole lot better than what Manafort wears. Dang!
its hard to think that as much money as he spent on each suit, it wasn't made to measure. My grandfather is almost 90 and a retired 60 year trial lawyer and he has a walk in closet with no less than 175 custom made suits and more than 400 custom made dress shirts and his wardrobe is probably close to 750k buts i don't think he ever bought a single suit that cost more than 4 or 5 grand a piece. I will say that as bad as that sounds there are some professions where people pay a person to look a certain part and one of those professions is the legal field. He was a wonderful trial lawyer and in a 3 piece suit, he was more than intimidating and was paid handsomely to be that person. No doubt Manifort was paid well and needed to look a certain way so i understand it but he still didn't make great choices with his clothes. Take care

Those prices were inflated part of the money luandering scheme. No one will convince me otherwise. Those suits were dreadful!
Dragged him for fiiiilllttthhh!!!!😂😂😂
The shade is real.
Speak that truth!
OMG I’m crying lol😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣
If you wanna buy good clothes you find them anywhere. You find them at Prada, at Tom Ford

thoroughly enjoyed this!
This whole thing made my day!😂😆❤️
Lol, world class critic!! I freaking love him!!!
RIP Andre Leon Talley!
Rest In Peace Andre. ✝️ There will never be another soul like you. 😔
More of this please
The only Clothes Andre can wear are Super king size bedspreads made into Caftans .... and he's critiquing another person's wardrobe?
Love it😁
That .,EYE ROLL....on the end is....EVERYTHING! 😀😀😀
With a few alterations, one can look good with H & M paired with a Tag Haeur and Italian shoes
But the way he said, 🐍 Sn-Ake! 😂
Love it!
I love his use of language and linguistics !! Very funny
The man is brilliant! I've seen him give many lectures in person, the time flies! His books and documentaries are enthralling!
Lol he threw the whole dam tree ⭐️😆...
Hysterical!!! Thank you Andre!

Insightful commentary...

Reading for filth! 😂
Why doesn't ALT have an interview show (on TV, I know of his satellite radio show)? We can have him replace Charlie Rose on PBS. I imagine he'd be a lovely conversationalist to witness.
RIP Andrea 😢
Damn his stomach though.
I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF $300,000.00 SUITS!!!!
Lmao 😆
Wonderful - true news.
My Grandpa wore the hell, out of Bijor as well!!! And that was back in the 80s.
I love that man I remember him in the good old days when he was thin and rather good-looking and I mean his wit has always me laugh but then again he hung out with the great Diana Vreeland and she was as sharp as a tack
Rest In Peace
THE SHADE OF IT ALL
Eternal Peace KING Andre Talley 🙏🏾🌹❤️
He should have hosted fashion police
lol lawd Andre don't READ that man like that!!!!!
Uncle Andre is on fire!!!!
2:00 Who was the man standing in between President Obama and President Biden?
I love you man❤️
Andre is a legend.
1:18 😭
Love...for the shade of it all...
Andre is undefeated. Lmao.
The FBI needs to look into the house of bijan. I’m sure manofort washed some of that money through that store with obscene ‘purchases’. He had no choice but to walk away with that ridiculous over the top clothing to make sense of the extremely high ‘purchase’
He himself is wearing weird shit as well
Even Andre Leon Talley’s Criticism sounds like a fashion compliment. 👌🏼🔥 #thegoat #thegodfatheroffashion
I feel like you could insult anyone's fashion to this degree.
OMG shade done in class. So when are we going to get more shade ahem critique from the legend
Andre's fashion knowledge is well known and respected. Just wish he would now seriously focus on and get control of his very clearly compromised health and stop eating himself into a way too early demise.
Is he wearing a blanket?
Fintan i dont see the fashionable part
Yes, yes he is and I am living for it.
gold girl .... I bet it cost more than your wardrobe and it looks comfortable AF
gold girl and you’re being racist it’s it’s an African Kaftan and Shawl
Ian Cornell no darling...it's a...throw shawl 😀😀😀
Better than balenciaga shirts.
This is why i follow vice.
Opps y he read him like that......
What’s crazy is that Mr Talley started as Andy Warhol’s secretary
A ridiculously dressed clown critiquing a ridiculously dressed clown. Birds of a feather.
Lol
Andre is such a diva, I love it! :)
The face 02:57 says it all.
Andre lives for a good button up to the neck moo moo/kimono
Manafort is a fashion icon.
