Check out this week's edition of UPFRONT/Inside the Entertainment Industry. Host Ray Cornelius is going behind-the-scenes of SCADFash's upcoming exhibition “André Leon Talley: Style is Forever.” Executive Director Alex Delotch Davis shares a sneak peek of the showcase, the film and the legendary fashion icon’s deep connection with SCAD and its next generation of designers.
Plus, Ray is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1975 Motown classic, Mahogany. Starring Diana Ross and Billy Dee Williams, the film broke barriers with its portrayal of a Black woman’s journey through the world of high fashion. Ray will also be playing songs from the movie’s unforgettable soundtrack and excerpts from his 2018 interview with André Leon Talley, sprinkled throughout the show.
