Protege Hemlines


I heard Oprah say one day "each one teach one", and that really hit my spirit. This is how our future leaders are groomed for success. Vogue editor at large Andre Leon Talley has exercised his right to do just that. Talley has seeked out a 24 year old ex law student to be his protege and personal photographer. His name is Jason Riffe, he left law school in 2007 and pursued a career in fashion photography. Riffe attended Savannah College Of Art & Design, where he met Talley who's on the board of trustees. Emails were exchanged between the two and the rest is shutterbug history. Riffe is still perfecting is skills under the watchful eye of Talley, aaah a star is born. Five stiletto stars go out to Andre Leon Talley, for mentoring a young brotha who will make a difference behind the scenes. Ultra fab.
