SARAH FERGUSON, PRESENTER: Coming of age in London during the 1980s, Edward Enninful describes himself as everything fashion wasn’t at the time - working class, gay and black.
SARAH FERGUSON: Reflecting on the creation of one of your many luminous iconic covers, you say, beauty can set us free if we let it. How does it do that? How does beauty do that? EDWARD ENNINFUL: For so long, you know, you need a special issue - the age issue, the size issue, the black issue. SARAH FERGUSON: It's not just a question, of course, of skin colour in what you've done. Of course, you've put women with hijabs on the cover, you've, featured older women. How is it that you, as a man understands the invisibility of women the way that you do?
SARAH FERGUSON: Your experience of being other, as you call it in the book, it's very strong, as you've just indicated. You were a black gay, and you were a Ghanaian boy growing up in London. How much of that sensibility is still with you now? SARAH FERGUSON: There's a dark theme that runs through your book as well. We think as outsiders that your extraordinary success insulates you from the things that happen to other people, but that's not true.
But I had to do something to stop it happening to the next young person who walked up to that desk and couldn't really fight for themselves. So it was very important for me to point it out.
