Andre Leon Talley got plenty of Oscar exposure this weekend, but his fame isn't just for the red carpet crowd. Recently, art school student Dana Veraldi made her own Andre homage on a limited edition shirt, dedicated to the Style Faxer and bearing his image on American Apparel cotton.
The shirt is seen modeled by scenester Jordan, and available on the art website Deer Dana until it runs out. Unlike the actual Andre, it comes without leopard print lining, crocodile casting, or kidskin fingerless gloves, but it does carry a measure of devotion and detail that even Mr. Talley could agree is something like luxury. And also, something equally valuable, spoof.

Oooh. And you could color it in with fabric markers, and give him a leopard bag-- or an Orla Kiely. Fun.
