I set out to bring the ‘othered’ to the table. We’re here to inspire and give people something to dream about as well as a sense of the possible here and now. ‘A Visible Man’ traces an astonishing journey into one of the world’s most exclusive industries. Edward Enninful candidly shares how as a Black, gay, working-class refugee, he found in fashion not only a home, but the freedom to share with people the world as he saw it. Written with style, grace and heart, this is the story of a visionary who changed not only an industry, but how we understand beauty.
