Edward Enninful Quotes

'British Vogue' is a great magazine with a legacy of creativity and innovation.
A lot of my friends, we all grew up sort of not very wealthy. And in England, whatever ends up being a negative, that's a positive.
A queen does not wear clothes off the runways.
Being an immigrant and living in England, I feel like I lived in two worlds. There was the world that, when I was at school with my friends, was very English, and then I'd go home to another country, with exotic foods and colours. I have a sense of colour pairings, and that came from my background, I think.
By people getting together and celebrating this idea of togetherness, great things can happen.
Change always takes time.
Coming from a family who put a lot of emphasis on academics, I always thought I was going to be a lawyer.
Diversity is very important for me.
For me, fashion succeeds when it says something about the times we live in.
Growing up, I loved the imagery I saw from America as it celebrated being the land of the free and home of the brave.
I am black in a predominantly white industry, and I have been luckier than most.
I am definitely allergic to wheat. Every time I eat it, I feel awful.
I can tell you, without diversity, creativity remains stagnant.
I can't just go in and throw clothes at a picture. I still have to have some kind of an idea of a character, of who she is, where she's from. It's almost like playing a child's game. You have your dolls, and you create characters for them. Fashion indulged that in me.
I come from a family who didn't have much money but raised me to believe that money wasn't the most important thing in the world. We had enough; we were happy.
I didn't grow up with money; I didn't come from a rich family. But what fashion gave me was an escape into a world of creativity: if I couldn't afford that Junior Gaultier jacket, then I'd get one from the market and customise it.
I didn't know anything about the fashion industry until I met the stylist Simon Foxton on a Tube. I was 16, on my way to Kingsway College, and then my whole world opened up. Before that, like in every African family, you are meant to be a lawyer.
I don't think everything has to be new all the time. You don't have to have the latest designer all the time to look good. Just have things you're comfortable with, have key pieces that you can sort of reinvent over and over again, and always keep things that you really love for a while.
I don't think I'm in any way an icon, to be very honest.
I feel like when it comes to the models, certain models are now like commodities in certain ways.
