British Vogue has, since 2017, become the most relevant fashion magazine, and this is thanks to Ghanaian-born editor Edward Enninful and his commitment to inclusivity. The son of a dressmaker and an army major forced to flee to London in the early 1980s, Enninful’s rise from refugee to king of the fashion world is extraordinary. Expect pop-culture history and star-studded cast members – he was stylist for Calvin Klein and Dolce & Gabbana, and is best friends with Naomi, Kate, Alexander McQueen and DVF – but also great vulnerability. It is this sharing of his periods of great difficulty that elevates his memoir to “unforgettable”.
