Edward Enninful And His New Memoir: ‘A Visible Man’

Arguably the most important figure in all of fashion today, a cultural trendsetter and visionary, Edward Enninful, OBE over his multi-decade career in the fashion industry has consistently elevated, challenged, and revolutionized the idea of fashion while championing causes of inclusion and diversity of perspective. In just a five year tenure of being Editor-in-Chief of British Vogue and recently promoted to European Editorial Director of Vogue, the publication has seen an uptick new in a younger audience, a surge in digital traffic across Vogue’s social media and an increase in print circulation.

With Enninful’s bounding success and cultural impact, the beloved editor pens a beautiful memoir, detailing his upbringing in Ghana, the endearing influence of his mother’s work as a seamstress that forever shaped his love of fashion to his extraordinary career in fashion and being a fearless advocate for a more inclusive fashion industry.

Edward Enninful is such an inspiration. From i-D, W Magazine, and Editor-in-Chief of British Vogue, Enninful has been a conduit of success and innovation at every position in his career. I can’t believe everything he’s overcome and even in the face of discrimination, he remains dignified and undaunted. His beautiful career and causes already speak for themselves, yet A Visible Man: A Memoir gives an even more in depth look into the extraordinary man and fashion editor Edward Enninful is.
