While other brands reduced<br />

output during the 2020<br />

pandemic, Enninful continued<br />

to push the boundaries of<br />

what a Vogue cover star looks<br />

like, this time choosing three<br />

frontline workers, a midwife, a<br />

train driver and supermarket<br />

assistant to appear on his July<br />

Heroes issue.<br />

In 2021 subscriptions to<br />

British Vogue grew by more<br />

than 14% while the number of<br />

digital visitors rose by 22%.<br />

Last month a report by<br />

Launchmetrics, which ranks<br />

magazines in terms of fashion,<br />

luxury and beauty advertising,<br />

placed British Vogue in first<br />

position while American Vogue<br />

was in third.<br />

Enninful has become a<br />

brand in his own right. His<br />

Instagram is peppered with<br />

photographs of him and his<br />

inner circle. It spans everything<br />

from coffee with Oprah<br />

Winfrey and Gayle King to<br />

red carpet appearances<br />

with Leonardo DiCaprio at<br />

the Cannes film festival and<br />

tea with Lionel Richie at King<br />

Charles’ coronation. Last year<br />

his memoir, A Visible Man,<br />

topped the bestsellers lists.<br />
