\n
British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful will be stepping down from his role after six years of breaking boundaries at the top fashion magazine.<\/p>\n
The 51-year-old will remain as an editorial advisor to the UK title but move into a newly-created job next year aimed at growing the brand globally.<\/p>\n
His new portfolio as Vogue\u2019s global creative and cultural advisor will also allow him to take on external projects.<\/p>\n
Enninful will be involved with the recruitment search for his successor.<\/p>\n
The Ghanaian-British creative is the first black man to hold the top job at the British fashion magazine.<\/p>\n
British Vogue recently featured its first disabled models, including actress Selma Blair who lives with multiple sclerosis and Ellie Goldstein, a 21-year-old model with Down\u2019s syndrome.<\/p>\n
Other memorable editions from Enninful include having actor Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet as the first man to grace the cover in October 2022.<\/p>\n
In an interview last year\u00a0about his favourite Vogue covers, Enninful said the inspiration behind his first one in December 2017 featuring mixed race model Adwoa Aboah was aimed at resetting \u201cthe image of modern Britain\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was important to create a cover that represented the Britain of today, a multicultural society where everyone was welcome \u2013 where my family was welcome,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
His wide network and celebrity friendships have also led to editions such as September 2019\u2019s \u201cForces for Change\u201d edited by the Duchess of Sussex.<\/p>\n
Last month, Enninful attended the King and Queen\u2019s Coronation. He has helped the King\u2019s charity, the Prince\u2019s Trust, with its work in Africa and worldwide as a global ambassador.<\/p>\nEdward Enniful, pictured alongside singer Katy Perry, attended the Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla last month (REUTERS)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Enninful has been\u00a0a high-profile champion\u00a0for greater inclusivity in the fashion industry.<\/p>\n
He took over as editor-in-chief of British Vogue in August 2017 from Alexandra Shulman, who had been in the job for 25 years. One of his first priorities was to diversify his staff at the 107-year-old publication.<\/p>\n
Enninful has been open about\u00a0his struggles with racism\u00a0and being a black gay man. In interviews with the BBC, he has also shared\u00a0concerns about losing his eyesight, his struggles with alcoholism and being estranged from his father for 15 years.<\/p>\n
British Vogue\u2019s contributing European sustainability editor Dana Thomas told the BBC she was \u201cthrilled\u201d by the news.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis gives him more freedom to do what he does best, and what clearly brings him joy, which is the creation of beauty.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis influence has been immense. I write for British Vogue because I found him so inspiring. His leadership in the areas of inclusivity, diversity, and sustainability \u2013 what he calls the three pillars of British Vogue \u2013 have been unmatched in any publication\u201d.<\/p>\nSelma Blair on the cover of British Vogue (Vogue)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
In a memo sent to Vogue staff, Enninful said he would \u201ccontinue to contribute to the creative and cultural success of the Vogue brand globally\u201d in his newly-created job, \u201cwhilst having the freedom to take on broader creative projects\u201d.<\/p>\n
A head of editorial content for British Vogue will also be hired, he said, adding: \u201cFor now everything remains the same, and I\u2019m so excited about what the future holds for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Enninful thanked editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and Roger Lynch, the chief executive officer of publishers Cond\u00e9 Nast, \u201cfor their continued support\u201d.<\/p>\n
