Regarded as one of the leading voices in the creative industry working today, Edward Enninful OBE, has helped bring widespread distinction to global fashion. Edward has spent over 30 years promoting minority and ethnically diverse talent and has strived to eliminate ethnic exclusion in the industry by uplifting and giving regular exposure to underrepresented topics, talent and models.

Born to a Ghanaian army officer and a seamstress, Edward Enninful became the youngest ever fashion editor of an international publication, i-D magazine, at 18. Quickly making his mark within the industry, by 1998 he became a contributing fixture at Italian Vogue, catapulting him into world recognition as a leading stylist and cultural contributor. Here, Edward spearheaded “The Black Issue” which featured only black women, and which started the necessary dialogue amongst a wider public audience that continues today. Edward continued to use his voice to make a positive impact in the industry with roles at American Vogue, W Magazine and most recently, British Vogue – becoming the only black person to serve as Editor-in-Chief in Vogue’s history and successfully transforming the publication into a diverse and inclusive multi-platform brand. Edward’s dedication to diversity in fashion was honoured with the presentation of an OBE.

In 2022, Edward wrote and published his memoirs - A Visible Man - charting his life story to date. The memoir became a Sunday Times bestseller.
