ANDRÉ LEON TALLEY

«On the first day of work, a hot Monday in august 1975 , André turned up in khaki safari shirt and Bermuda shorts, with matching knee socks, topped off  by a hunter's helmet from Abercrombie & Fitch , looking every inch the Kipling colonial in Kenya -except that André is black and as tall as a Harlem Globetrotter. We dubbed him André de Interview , because he often answered the phone with a festive «Bonjour»
