Visible Man (2022)
Book
Published
Edward Enninful was born in Ghana in 1972, the son of a military officer and a dressmaker, and his family moved to London in 1981 after a coup. A modeling job for i-D led to styling, and eventually to becoming the first Black editor-in-chief of British Vogue.
The most moving thread is personal: his father wanted respectable professions for his sons and threw him out after he came out as gay. Energetic and celebratory rather than confessional, but the early chapters are the real reason to read it.
