British Vogue appoints Edward Enninful as editor
Edward Enninful has been appointed as editor at British Vogue,
succeeding Alexandra Schulman, effective 1 August. Edward has been creative and
fashion director of the American magazine W
since 2011. His experience as a fashion editor dates back to 1991
when he was named fashion director of i-D
at the age of 19, a position he held for more than 20 years. In the years
between 1998 and 2011 he contributed extensively to American Vogue and Italian Vogue. He was awarded an OBE (Officer
of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) by Queen Elizabeth last
year, and in 2014 was named fashion creator of the year by the British Fashion
Council.
Edward was brought to
London from Ghana as a child and grew up in the city's Ladbroke Grove area. He
became interested in fashion as a teenager when he was scouted as a fashion model.
He displayed a talent for fashion styling as a teenager, which led the then
editor of i-D,
Terry Jones, to appoint him as the magazine's fashion director, the youngest in
the industry. He attended Goldsmith's, University of London, well known for its
art programmes, but left before graduation to pursue a full-time into a fashion
editing career.
