British Vogue's editor-in-chief, Edward Enninful OBE, discusses his memoir, A Visible Man.
? ‘I’ve heard it,’ he says of the PM’s alleged quest to be featured. ‘I thought it was funny. I’ve seen the mocked-up covers...We’re all just waiting to see what direction she takes the country in. So we’ll see.’
A ‘watchful, shy, spacey’ kid, Enninful grew up in the coastal city of Tema, Ghana. The son of Major Crosby Enninful and Grace, a dressmaker, he was one of six siblings. He spent his childhood under his mother’s cutting table, ‘surrounded by scraps of wax fabric; I’d fill my notebooks with ladies in elaborate dresses’. At 13, they fled political unrest, arriving in Thatcher’s London, where they were ‘overwhelmed at the thrilling coldness and greyness of absolutely everything’.
Family – both blood and fashion – are at the heart of Enninful’s story. Meeting the legendary make-up artist Pat McGrath was ‘destiny calling’. A 14-year-old Kate Moss, who ‘was comforting and matey, with a thick, working-class accent and an engaging way of bringing me out of myself’, has proved a lifelong friend and collaborator.
