ADWOA ABOAH
The first cover star
of Edward Enninful’s
British Vogue, in
December 2017, Adwoa
Aboah has not only
established herself as
one of the world’s most
in-demand models, but
also as an outspoken
advocate for mental
health. Through her
Gurls Talk platform
and its accompanying
podcast series, Aboah
is determined to
leverage her renown
to draw attention to
issues such as period
poverty, depression and
sexuality – an initiative
she is now taking to
schools around the UK.
Her efforts have
proved that fashion’s
engagement with
feminism can bring
about tangible change.
Lace and mesh bustier
dress, embroidered
with feathers and worn
