About 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 " The Image of modern Britain".

" It was important to create a cover that represented the Britain of today, a multicultural society where everyone was Welcome - where My Family was Welcome , " He Said .

Force for Change

Enninful has been for greater inclusivity in The Fashion industry.

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.

His 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 - what he calls the three pillars of British Vogue - have been unmatched in any publication".
