Missing Wardrobe Report

André's MIA luggage
Wednesday, September 27, 2006
(MILAN) Three days into Fashion Week here, and André Leon Talley was sporting the same patent leather Miu Miu coat and velour track pants. "It's Shrek-not Smurf-blue," he said. "And it's definitely not a fashion statement." Turns out the beloved Vogue editor-at-large's luggage was lost en route to Milan from Atlanta. By the Alberta Ferretti show this afternoon at 2 p.m., the luggage still had not arrived-though not for Talley's lack of trying. He had been stationed at the concierge desk at the Four Seasons Hotel every moment possible to track his lost-and undeniably expensive-wares.

Apparently his vigil worked: four of his suitcases were just recovered today. Talley arrived at the Gucci show this evening donning a vintage Chanel couture jacket and size 16E Roger Vivier jeweled flats. When asked about the Miu Miu coat, he replied that it would be "aired out and revived in Paris."
