TheOrator.Press Book Review: ‘A Visible Man’ By Vogue Editor Edward Enninful. November 2022



Fourteen Years Later (After The 2008 Fashion Bombshell of Black Vogue Italaia) Now Subsequently British Vogue Editor And European Vogue Director, In February 2022 He Did It Again In British Vogue February 2022. This Time It Was The Africa Issue Photographed By Rafeal Pavoratti. Styled By Edward Enniful. (See Page One)

It Caused Great Uproar Amongst Some And Great Joy Amongst Others. This Dynamic Simply Goes To Show There Remains Work To Done, As There Is No Such Furore When European Girls Are On Vogue’s Front Cover.

But As Far As Breaking Down Barriers And Building Back Better Edward Enniful Has Made Leaps And Bounds And Continues To Strutt His Stuff Along The Catwalk of Life. In Doing So He Is Moving Society Along Too. And Progress Foward is The Natural Order of Things In Life.

Born In February 1972, He Was Awarded The Global Media Trailblazer Award, Aged 50. Earlier This Year At The LGBT Awards June 2022. In October 2021, Aged 49, He Received Another Official Royal Seal of Approval From The Then Prince Charles, As He Was Appointed A Global Ambassasor For The Prince’s Trust. That Same Year At The Annual British Fashion Council Awards He Was Honoured With An Award For Being A Leader of Change. And Also In 2021 As Editor of Vogue He Received The Editor of The Year Award At The Annual BSME (The British Society of Magazine Editors) Gathering.

Just A Decade Earlier, Aged 39, He Had Reached The Dizzy Heights of Becoming Style & Fashion Director of W Magazine In 2011 (W Standing For The World’s Fashion, Film, Art & Entertainment). In 2014, Aged 32 He Was Awarded The Isabella Blow Award For Outstanding Creativity In Fashion. At That Time, Twice The Young Age He Was When He Started Out As A Fashion Model Aged Just 16, He Had Already Achieved So Much And Yet So Much More Fabulousness Was Yet To Come. In 2017 Aged 45 He Was Enthroned As Editor-In-Chief of British Vogue.

In November 2020 Enninful Esquire Interviewed The Then Prince Charles About His Mantra “Buy One, Buy Well” And His Approach To Sustainable Fashion And A Royal Scottish/Italian Fashion Collaboration. The Subsequent December 2020 Issue Featured The Prince On His Land Photographed By Nick Knight (See Below). It Was Fascinating, Insightful And Inspiring. Later That Month It Was Announced That Enninful Had Been Elevated Even Higher To European Director of All European Vogues Which Include The British, French, Italian, German & Spainish Editions. (Knight Also Shot Dame Judy Dench For The Magazine’s June Edition The Same Year. See Bottom Line of Photo Gallery Above, Second Photo From The Right).

The Royal November 2020 Promotion Was All The More Sweet Because In July The Same Year He Had Been Wrongly Racially Profiled And Told By An Ignorant Racist Security Guard To Use The Back Door As He Walked Into The Main Entrance of The Conde Nast Headquarters, Off London’s Regent Street. He Reported That It Wasn’t The First Time He’s Been Wrongly Racially Profiled But He Refuses To Let His Colour Hold Him Back.
