"We did his fitting quite literally the night before the Met Gala," Boateng says, adding that everyone in the room got "really excited" when they saw the Grammy-award winning musician in the finished product.The look - a red suit paired with a buttercup yellow shirt and eel-skin cape - was partly inspired by Burna Boy's Nigerian roots.The musician told Vogue: "As a waterside pikin [Pidgin for "child"] from the Niger Delta, the eel and fish in general are the lifeblood of my people - they symbolise survival, spirit and the flow of tradition through generations."
The Met Gala was "not unusual", Boateng says, explaining that Africa has been part of his "message" throughout his career.Back in 1995, Boateng was the first black designer to open a shop on Savile Row, a London street famed for fine tailoring.
"When I first started as a designer, Savile as a street was a dying street," Boateng recalls.
"The concept, it was dying. I effectively moved there in the early 90s and breathed new life into it.""Our defibrillators don't require any training," he said
"There are instructions on each one of the defibrillators that tell you what to do."Margaret Mullane, MP for Dagenham and Rainham, said: "There are more than 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in the UK each year, and currently less than one in 10 survive.
"It is great to see our local railway taking steps to protect our community in this way, and I would urge everyone to take a moment to find out where the defibrillator is at their local c2c station."All defibrillators were available on platforms during the station's opening times, alongside the operator's new Bleed Kits.
