Africa Daily - How did a boy from Ghana conquer the world of fashion?
Download How did a boy from Ghana conquer the world of fashion?
Edward Enninful is the editor in chief of British Vogue, a magazine which is revered in the world of fashion. He was appointed in 2017 and became the first black man to do the job. He sits in the front row of catwalk shows from the world’s biggest designers – Dolce and Gabbana, Versace and Armani. Beyonce, Rihanna and Oprah Winfrey are close friends.
But despite the glitz and glamour of the circles he moves in now, he had a very humble beginning. He came to UK as a refugee from Ghana when he was 13 years old. Now he’s telling his story in a new memoir - A Visible Man.
His interview with Alan Kasujja contains discussion of violence that some people might find disturbing.
