REPORTAGE position of British Vogue’s top editor wasn’t for a black man. It appears his sexuality – as gay, paved the way for him in the industry, but his colour was always a factor. Who really is Edward Enninful? Edward Enninful was born in Ghana in February 1972 and when he was still a child, he moved to Ladbroke Grove, London, together with his family. One of six children, Enninful was brought to London 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 which led the then Editor of I-D, Terry Jones, to appoint Enninful 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 in order to plunge full-time into a fashion editing career. His Sexuality At the age of 21, Enninful told his mother he was gay, and was thankful for her reaction. Eventually, he writes, his father “came around” to the idea of him being gay. “I was extremely fortunate to have the mother I had,” he writes. “She loved me - I knew that always - and when I eventually told her I was gay at the grand old age of 21, having returned to London after a romantic epiphany on a New York dance floor, there was no question of me being exiled by the family,” he writes. But in London in the Eighties and Nineties, he says, others were not as “lucky” as he was. Throughout and beyond Pride month, British Vogue, under Enninful’s leadership, will represent different LGBT+ stories, including pop star Janelle Monae, British- Australian actor Miriam Margoyles and The Last Of Us actor Bella Ramsey, exclusively revealed here by The Independent. “ “I was extremely fortunate to have the mother I had,” he writes. “She loved me - I knew that always - and when I eventually told her I was gay at the grand old age of 21, having returned to London after a romantic epiphany on a New York dance floor, there was no question of me being exiled by the family,” he writes. The Rise of Edward Enninful At the age of 16, Enninful was spotted on a train by stylist Simon Foxton. “I was 16 and I had no idea who Simon Foxton was,” he said in an interview for Telegraph <strong>Magazine</strong>. “About two weeks later I was stopped again, this time by a model scout. When I told her that I’d already been approached by Simon Foxton, she told me how amazing he was and weeks later I was shooting with him at his house, along with Nick Knight, a founder-photographer of i-D.” Enninful called his short modelling career as his “baptism into fashion”. Later on, he got introduced to Trish and Terry Jones, founder of i-D magazine, and soon started assisting i-D fashion director Beth Summers. He completed college, getting a degree at Goldsmiths, University of London, while balancing his modelling career and helping with shoots with Foxton and Summers. He then got a fulltime job there. In 1998, Enninful became an editor to Italian Vogue. According to him, working with Vogue Italia editor-inchief Franca Sozzani and photographer Steven Meisel helped him to develop as a stylist. “I always say that I was a London stylist but when I worked with Steven, I became a proper stylist.” At Italian Vogue, he created the “Black Issue”, which involved only black models, www.glamsquadmagazine.com 15
