yes it's amazing to see this diversity that's happening on the runways and in magazine covers to see more than one woman of color or diversity on a magazine cover at a time is a big deal but it really shouldn't be did he think we'd be further on it's not a trend and people shouldn't feel if they don't use diversity they're gonna get it's they're not it's not they're not in the right they're not doing what's right you'll explain better than I can colorism do you see acceptable or accepted tones of darker skin is that something
that still goes on in the fashion world and in the modern world yes I know you're saying and I have seen that and that's what I'm talking about when I say it's not a trend or skin tones of diversity today's do you think that messages got through gonna tell diamo tell you weren't afraid to tell the outgoing Vogue editor Alexander Shulman your feelings about her staff line up I didn't have to say anything she put the picture up I just probably I just we posted the picture she put I didn't say anything she needs to
look at that picture and clearly see that it's not diverse a deaf child could see that just the mere fact that I'm black and I'm British and I we posted it it became a headline Shulman was quite brutal about the new Vogue editor Edward and info1 which is not graceful is it she'd always welcome the new and be gracious you can't stay in power all the time and I was horrified it was like a brother to me I would have spoken out supporting him regardless whether I knew or I didn't I thought it was not
gracious of her no it's wrong welcome the new you look bitter it makes you look bitter and jealous you don't want to appear that way you want to be gracious you want to align yourself with the new at some point you have to say all models are exceptional looking otherwise you know we're all be models when there is this push to get the plus-size model the older woman model you know the different looks of a beauty comes in all shapes forms and sizes do you believe that I believe the modeling I do believe that so
could could the ordinary be beautiful could the ordinary that's been proved now that the ordinary can be beautiful isn't that what social media is done for beauty for me can it can mean so many different Turpin interpretations to so many people and you know the women that I've loved and respected and considered beautiful some may not but personality is also in there with it it all makes this thought it's a big that's all part of the package it's a full package will you talk to me about the wider issues now three years today since the
country voted for brexit I wonder if you see a different country now I see an undecisive country and we've never been undecisive England's always been like pretty much we know what we want and now to travel around the world and keep people talking about brexit is like I don't want to hear that you know it's feel like we've been split we are being split and that never I don't think being split ever brings good what about the Windrush scandal last year did it change your understanding of what this country was that I know about wind
was because my grandparents of that and they come here to work hard like my grandparents did and the only dream was to go back and buy their dream home in Jamaica when you heard that people were being treated as if that they weren't they didn't belong here they're very very upsetting very upsetting I didn't go to an event because of that I was invited to something and I chose not to go because I was not going to go and validate something that I didn't agree with what was there wasn't a vet at 10 Downing but
I didn't agree with it and so I didn't go did you tell them that was why obviously if I said no they didn't know that's why this is a new age of you know the me to movement I wonder how easy it was for you when you were starting out growing up whether you thought you could speak out about inappropriate behavior then I was bullied at school like everyone gets bullied at school but bully for the color of my skin worried for being too thin I know how to stand up for myself and and I
did and I feel that going through that has helped me to always speak out when I didn't feel something was justified or right in my eyes or when I was made to feel differently but not for being just me so I personally did not deal with it and for those that I know that did I have compassion and I stand with them Philip Green you've had a long association with him do you recognize any of the behavior he has black used at Green in my life you've had a long association with others lots of people
now Philip Green I've gone to many of the events that Kate Moss when she paint Moss was working at Topshop I support my friends absolutely and I wouldn't take that back I support her then as I supported her now do you recognize any of the behavior that he's been accused of never saw it in my eyes Noelle thank you thank you so much
