About This Book
From one of our culture's most important changemakers, a memoir of breaking barriers. When Edward Enninful became the first Black editor-in-chief of British Vogue, few in the world of fashion wanted to confront how it failed to represent the world we live in. But Edward, a champion of inclusion throughout his life, rapidly changed that. Now, whether it's putting first responders, octogenarians or civil rights activists on the cover of Vogue, or championing designers and photographers of colour, Edward Enninful has cemented his status as one of his world's most important changemakers. A Visible Man traces an astonishing journey into one of the world's most exclusive industries. Edward candidly shares how as a Black, gay, working-class refugee, he found in fashion not only a home, but the freedom to share with people the world as he saw it. Written with style, grace, and heart, A Visible Man shines a spotlight on the career of one of the greatest creative minds of our times. It is the story of a visionary who changed not only an industry, but how we understand beauty. The Top 5 Sunday Times bestseller and BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week
Reviews
"The author knows his story is his own, and he does not lean on gossip in charting his own rise ..."
"Openhearted, awe-arousing ..."
"Enninful, like many fashionistas, does tend to lack perspective."
"A Visible Man is the culmination of blood, sweat, tears and limitless imagination."
"He also indulges in some Olympic-level name-dropping."
"Fashion mavens and forward thinkers alike will be mesmerized."
"he shows he's able to distil complex debates without forgoing nuance ..."
"Expressive and forthright, Enninful's memoir is lush with visual storytelling and generous personal refrains, such as the author's deep work ethic and appreciation for powerful women, his battles with impostor syndrome and racism, and his embrace of change and commitment to lifting up fellow Black creatives at every opportunity."
