André Leon Talley has spent almost 50 years at the heart of the fashion world, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Andy Warhol. Not bad for a man who describes himself as "a poor black boy from North Carolina."

The former editor-at-large of Vogue talks to 5 Live's Emma Barnett about the George Floyd protests, racism, sexual abuse and what it was like being Anna Wintour’s right-hand man.
