I Wish He Could Rule The World
GRAHAM NORTON, IRISH TV CHAT SHOW HOST, RADIO DJ, PRESENTER & FELLOW AUTHOR
A visible Man, Is So Monikered Because Enniful Refused To Be Invisible. Notwithstanding His “Immigrant, Working Class, Outsider, Gay, Black, Status,” He Selects 8 Significant Events In This Life, Each Titled After A Notable Periods of Change, As Chapters For The Book.
He Owns Where He Came From, Lest We Forget, He Is A Very Proud African Man. “From Politically Unstable Beginnings…On An Island of Tidiness Surrounded By A City Unconcerned By Order.” He Is Proudly From Ghana. And He Is Unmistakeably British. He Eloquently Describes This Journey From Outsider To Insider, Whilst Remaining His Authentic Self And Bringing Others Into The Fold.
From Getting Scouted As A Model At 16 To Walking & Talking With Royalty And Nobility By 50 And Why It’s Still Important To Champion Diversity And Continue To Go On Improving The Shortcomings of The Fashion Industry By Remaining A Visionary And A Pioneer For Change.
“My contention has always been that we need to be represented across all platforms as a matter of course. And by ‘we’ I mean everybody that has ever felt ‘othered’ by fashion, be that because of gender, race, class, financial status, body type, age, disability or simply having been denied a voice.”
Edward Enniful, Vogue Editor And Author of ‘A Visible Man’, 2022
He Also Reveals Details of His Own Extensive Personal Health Challenges, Coming Out, Being Thrown Out, And The Surprise of Later Discovering That Despite This, He Is More Like His “Military” Father Than He Ever Imaged.
Above all, A Visible Man is an example of Black excellence, power, success and perseverance. Not only does it give insight into the fascinating thought processes and experiences of Enninful; it acts as an inspiration to the next generation of young people driven to change their world for the better. And of Course He Is Not Ageist So That Actually Applies To Everyone…With The Style, Panache And Passion To Pull It Off!
Enninful Knows Anyone Who’s Anyone In The Fashion World And Even Anyone Who’s Anyone Who Is Not. He Has A Bevy of Showbusiness Beauties Giving Reviews And Forewords Encouraging Everyone But Everyone To Buy The Book. It Seems A Little Bit of A Mismatch Therefore To Discover That The Picture Selections In The Book Are Not As Plentiful As His Wonderful Story Telling And Tales of Inspiration And Perseverance. Given How Vibrant, Rich And Plentiful They Are In The Usual Production of The Magazine The Fact That Such Sumptuosness Is Not Reflected In The Book Is Somehing of A Disappointment. But The Fact Remains Its A Great Read And There’s Much To Love And Learn.
That’s The High Drama of High Fashion Dah’lings, There’s Always A Solution or Something Else Fabulous To Focus On. For Instance, Perhaps Get Your Hands On The Limited Hardback Edition of The First Ever Vogue Magazine Under His Editorship (Autumn/Winter 2017). Then It Was £75.00.
