Summary
Edward Enninful has lived an extraordinary life.
Here, for the first time, he shares the remarkable, inspiring story of his journey from a childhood bedroom in Ghana overlooking firing squads, to 1990s London - becoming the youngest-ever fashion director of i-D magazine at just eighteen years old. Now the first Black editor-in-chief of British Vogue, he has created game-changing images of everyone from Beyoncé to Meghan Markle, Kate Moss to Oprah Winfrey, Adele to Rihanna, and many more stars he now counts as friends.
A Visible Man is the story of a husband, son, brother, friend - and icon. Taking us from the neon thrills of Soho clubs to nights spent on friends' sofas, this is the story of Edward's phenomenal grit and determination: of failures, loss, coming out, joy, hedonism, fame, love, heartbreak, sacrifice, ill health and era-defining achievements. It's the story of one man's revolutionary mission to change how we see the world, showing how unwavering passion and perseverance can allow anyone to make their mark - just like he did.

Being Black, Gay & at the Top Fashion Table
Edward gives a very personal take on how his family upbringing shaped him to become a style maverick. He's worked hard, sacrificed a lot and utilised opportunities to the best of his ability. There's a cost physically, and mentally to get to the very top which should not be underestimated. There are unbelievable highs and crushing lows. His mum must be very proud of all Edward has achieved.

Helping me gain a different perspective
Hearing from Edward about his life, work, beliefs and what is important to him, really helped me think about the world from a very different perspective.
Thank you Edward for taking the time to share; for doing all that you have and all that you continue to do in supporting others to have a voice and grow.

Remarkable Story
I savoured every word of Edward's truly remarkable story. Wow, what a trailblazer! I was awestruck at how he rose against the odds by sheer passion, hard work and dedication, defying deeply ingrained conditioning and despite devastating prejudice to make a meaningful difference. The feel-good ending would have been made even sweeter by knowing his father was sorry and very proud of him. Actions do speak but sometimes we need the comfort of actual words. Total respect to Mrs Enniful for making, moulding and inspiring such a creative force in Edward whose impact is profound. Thank you- I'm richer for hearing this encouraging tale of a life well lived xox

See the King
Edward Ennifull is a contrarian. His voice is a blend of coloured black coffee. His story is splendoured with the richness that crafts his ability to translate the power of fashion. I listened voraciously and was enthralled by his tenacious work ethic. Edward's candour can't be missed and I didn't want it to end. I declare that 'A Visible Man' is the window to see the king...
