George Takei, Lea Salonga, and Telly Leung Go Glam for November's Vanity Fair, Wearing Malan Breton

george takei vanity fair allegiance

To celebrate the opening of the Broadway show "Allegiance", starring George Takei, Lea Salonga, and Telly Leung, Vanity Fair will feature a high fashion spread photographed by Luke Fontana, and styled by George Brescia, showcasing each actor wearing internationally acclaimed fashion designer Malan Breton. Shot at New York's YouTube studios the editorial exhibits a classic Hollywood look with art direction by Mitch Dean.

When Mr. Breton was asked how he felt learning these lifelong icons would be gracing the magazine in his designs, he simply bowed his head in gratitude, smiled, and said with a tear in his eye, he wished them success on Allegiance, and the Broadway opening.

"Allegiance" the musical is "Inspired by the true-life experience of its star George Takei ("Star Trek," "Heroes"), Allegiance follows one family's extraordinary journey in this untold American story.

A mysterious envelope leads Sam Kimura (Takei) back 60 years to a time when he (played as a young man by Telly Leung - Godspell, "Glee") and his sister Kei (Tony Award-winner Lea Salonga - Miss Saigon, Mulan) strive to save their family from the wrongful imprisonment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Sam enlists in the army to prove the Kimuras' loyalty, but Kei joins draft resisters fighting for the rights of their people.

Their paths take them from the lush farmlands of California to the wastelands of Wyoming to the battlefields of Europe, and their divided loyalties threaten to tear them apart forever. But as long-lost memories are unlocked, Sam finds that it is never too late to forgive and to recognize the redemptive power of love.

The garments much like the musical are rooted in rich history, each hand constructed garment is made of hand woven material. Mr Breton, mentored by the late Arnold Scaasi, crafts his gowns using old world techniques taught to the couturiers of the past century. This careful construction gives a perfect fit each time, as witnessed in the image of Ms. Salonga in his papillon gown. Each of the menswear pieces are crafted with the philosophy of fit, quality, and construction, Mr. Breton learned from Paul Cuss at a British heritage brand famous for shirting the Prince of Wales.

Meet Caitlyn Jenner for Vanity Fair

Bruce Jenner, now Caitlyn Jenner, broke the internet today. IG, Twitter & FB were flooded with the first photos of the "big reveal" on Vanity Fair after Bruce Jenner's transition. I watched the Diane Sawyer interview and was very moved. Later, tuned into some of the Kardashian specials about all of this and once again, felt moved by Kris, the Jenner girls and Kim and Khloe. You go Caitlyn! I support you and ALL transgender individuals.

“If I was lying on my deathbed and I had kept this secret and never ever did anything about it, I would be lying there saying, ‘You just blew your entire life. You never dealt with yourself,’ and I don’t want that to happen.” Caitlyn Jenner

In the photo shoot with the legendary Annie Leibovitz, Caitlyn embraced her sultry, glamorous side. Super glam, classic  and elegant, Caitlyn has finally freed herself.

Andre Leon Talley

Breaking News:

"I'm not GAY," Andre Leon Talley

In the words of Catherine Tate's character Derek Faye:

"Gay dear, who dear, me dear, no dear."

Andre darling, you're not gay, you're just a flaming heterosexual! 

“No, no, no. I was just into my magazines and the drawings," he told Vanity Fair. Okay, I can respect not liking labels like gay/straight but seriously, Andre Leon Talley is one of the biggest queens out there. He makes Elton John look  butch. Whatever Mary. *Read the full Vanity Fair interview here.

PS... I don't really care. I actually love Mr. Talley, gay, straight or whatever!
