ALT Pares Down Vogue Responsibilities for Retirement Money: Many were surprised earlier this month when news broke that André Leon Talley was leaving Vogue for late-night television and a new job as editor at large at Numéro Russia. But the rumor turned out not to be entirely true. In an interview with WWD, the longtime Vogue contributor opened up about his new projects, adding that he’s still a part of the Vogue team, but is lightening his workload. “About Vogue: I’ve been there for 30 years, it was a tough decision when I went to talk to Anna about this. I’m proud to say I’m going to be 64, I felt I needed more financial security as I go in my twilight age, a little bit more cash for mortgages and as I go into retirement. I took the job because I love Russia and the salary was something fabulous. Money isn’t everything but it is when you start thinking about putting money away for your retirement days.…Anna was very sympathetic and understood and she decided we remain on good terms and that I do the digital and the online. And I’m very happy to do it.” [WWD]
