Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's wedding is only days away. So, what does one pack to a very luxe wedding ceremony in Europe? Well, if you're André Leon Talley, your Louis Vuitton monogram luggage might have a Chanel cape (of course), Ralph Lauren Purple Label smoking suit, Ralph Lauren Purple Label pleated dinner shirts, bespoke, and a Balenciaga cape just for good measure.
ATL, who'll be covering the wedding for Vogue, says it's important to have options when packing for a trip. "When I wake up in the morning, I want to be able to switch gears," he explained. "Especially in shirts: I wear special order Purple Label and old tried and true Charvet shirts. My neckties are Hilditch & Key, from Paris. Bowties are Tom Ford.”
He also talked about pulling two Valentino couture caftans from the storage room because he thought Kim K would appreciate them. In short: ATL is coming extremely prepared—grooming essentials and more Ralph Lauren Purple Label than you could imagine—to Kimye's wedding, which he says is important to him and "is a destination, and full of mystery."
