'I wish he could be editor of the world!' GRAHAM NORTON
'Courageously truthful' SALMAN RUSHDIE
'Inspiring and fascinating' BERNARDINE EVARISTO
Edward Enninful has lived an extraordinary life.
Here, for the first time, he shares the inspiring story of his journey, beginning in a childhood bedroom in Ghana overlooking firing squads, to arriving in 1990s London as an asylum seeker, to setting the cultural agenda as the first Black editor-in-chief of British Vogue. His covers have changed our understanding of beauty and desirability. Featuring exclusively African models, first responders, global activists and the oldest cover star at age 85, they have also broken sales records.
This is the story of how he did it.
A Visible Man is the story of a husband, son, brother, friend - and icon. Taking us from the neon thrills of Soho clubs to nights spent on friends' sofas, this is the story of Edward's phenomenal grit and determination: through fame and failures, joy and loss, ill health and addiction, heartbreak and coming out. It's the story of one man's revolutionary mission to change how we see the world, showing how unwavering passion and perseverance can allow anyone to make their mark.

Recenzii
Anyone interested in what it takes, from a beautiful human being's point of view, to change an industry from within, should read this book. Edward offers an insight only he can
Edward Enninful inspires a whole new generation to show us anything is possible when you work hard with love and passion . . . This book is a revelation and shows the genius and strength of this wonderful, pioneering, legendary man of fashion
I had so much fun reading A Visible Man. Edward, as always, speaks from his very large heart
His absorbing self-portrait gives us profound insights into growing up black and gay in Ghana, London, and in the fashion media . . . It's a terrific and, I think, important book
What fun!
Edward's story is a true beacon of inspiration, hope and change for the better. He has blazed a path for so many to follow, which sadly had never been possible before
Edward's journey is a lesson for the culture and future generations to come
An inspiring and fascinating memoir about an extraordinary man who has become a major global changemaker . . . He writes about the highs and lows of his life and career with an admirably honest self-awareness about his own vulnerabilities . . . [and] a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed when you are considered an outsider
Inspiring, entertaining, ground-breaking
I knew very little of Edward Enninful's life before reading his new memoir. What a story! A fairytale that never shies away from the harsh realities of contemporary life. I wish he could be editor of the world!'
Edward's book is the proof that you that you can have a beautiful soul, an extraordinary eye, and a loving heart. and confirms that showing vulnerability can be inspiring and glamorous!
Edward Enninful is not just a local hero but a globe icon
Edward is carrying out important work, leading change, and challenging the obsolete elements of the fashion system, while never disrespecting the legacy and the goals that fashion has achieved
A remarkable book'
The memoir - beautifully written and compelling - depicts the story of a shy, studious boy from a conservative, high-achieving family whose talent and drive propelled him from nowhere to the top of the fashion world . . . He is a serious man, on a serious mission; complacency is not in his vocabulary
What a book . . . I inhaled it . . . Inspirational . . . The book is wonderful . . . and it's not just for people in fashion
While his achievements (and friendship with Rihanna) are the reason to pick up his memoir, the real treat is in his come-up story, which he tells with honesty, heart and plenty of juicy details - qualities that are still all-too-rare in fashion
