From the beginning of his groundbreaking tenure at W, departing creative and fashion director Edward Enninful has not only created wildly exciting fantasies, but also fearlessly tackled important issues of race and gender in his fashion editorials, along the way opening doors for more diversity in fashion. For his last September issue, he didn’t disappoint. Casting the likes of Binx Walton, Aleece Wilson, Hiandra Martinez, Jasmine Sanders and more, he’s collaborated with Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott for “Defy,” which W editor in chief Stefano Tonchi says is “destined to become another one of my favorites.” Enninful’s ultimate message? Why just flout fashion when you can own it? For the full story, pick up the September issue, on newsstands now.
