Edward Enninful, former editor-in-chief of British Vogue, expressed hope that Prime Minister Andy Burnham would support the arts more than previous governments did. Speaking at a launch event for an exhibition he curated called "The 90s: Art And Fashion" at Tate Britain, Enninful compared current times to the cultural renaissance during Tony Blair’s New Labour era in the 1990s. The exhibition will run from October 8 to February 14 and includes works by notable artists such as Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst.

Story summary
Edward Enninful, former editor-in-chief of British Vogue and now OBE for his contributions to fashion, expressed hope at the Tate Britain's launch event for "The 90s: Art And Fashion" exhibition that Prime Minister Andy Burnham would support the arts more than previous governments. Enninful noted how during Tony Blair’s New Labour era in the 1990s, there was a strong cultural revival highlighted by figures like Kate Moss and Damien Hirst. He emphasized that Britain had seen a unique alignment of fashion, music, film, and literature under New Labour's tenure, which he believes should be replicated today to boost creativity and industry growth across multiple sectors.

Speaking at a launch event for The 90s: Art And Fashion exhibition at the Tate Britain, which he has curated, Enninful told the Press Association: “I always hope that, we have the talent here, the artists are here, the designers are here, but I just hope that we have a Government that will just push the arts more.

He added: “They really did (use the arts as a political tool)… totally.
asserted
They → add → tool
“I mean, I guess they saw something was happening that was so interesting, Britain was going through a renaissance of some kind, and they were very clever to use it to sort of shine a light to the rest of the world, ‘hey, we’re leading in the arts’.
asserted
we → mean → arts
“So yeah, art really played a really, really important part in that, and I guess that’s what we’ve been trying to do ever since to get Government to say, ‘hey, you know the arts, we’re still here’.
asserted
we → play → arts
“Somehow there was such a halo around that period.”
Enninful was Vogue’s first black editor-in-chief, and became the youngest fashion editor at a major international title when he took on the role of fashion director at i-D Magazine aged 18.
Born in Ghana and raised in Ladbroke Grove, he is known for his championing of diversity in fashion, and was made an OBE in 2016 for his services to fashion.
