It was one of fashion’s best-kept secrets of the year. Edward Enninful, the recipient of CFDA’s Media Award, asked his friend Oprah Winfrey to present him with the Trova. Only a few select knew- so when Oprah took to the stage, there was a collective gasp followed by thunderous applause. She didn’t disappoint (she never does).  Speaking about British Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief, Winfrey delivered an important message for the entire industry.

“This is a man who understands that the representation of inclusion, of diversity, is not just important,” she said, “it is vital in allowing for our shift in the way culture views beauty.”
