Edward Enninful Named First Black Editor Of British Vogue

For the first time ever, British Vogue has appointed a black man to be at the helm. 

Parent company Condé Nast announced Monday that Edward Enninful will be leaving his position as the creative and fashion director of W, an American magazine, to become editor-in-chief of the British fashion book.

Enninful is set to replace Alexandra Shulman and disrupt a 100-year history of white women holding the position, including the current American Vogue editor, Anna Wintour. The 45-year-old, who is openly gay, will also become the first non-white man to lead a mainstream women’s fashion magazine.
