Ghanaian named as British Vogue Editor

British Vogue has confirmed Edward Enninful as its first male editor.

He was appointed fashion director of British fashion magazine i-D at the age of 18, a position he held for over two decades.

Enninful, who has previously worked for Italian and American Vogue, will take over from Alexandra Shulman, who announced her departure in January.

Condé Nast International's Jonathan Newhouse said Enninful was "an influential figure in the communities of fashion, Hollywood and music".

He is currently the fashion and creative director at W Magazine, where he has worked since 2011.

Some of the biggest names in fashion have worked with him, including Giorgio Armani, Christian Dior, Dolce and Gabbana, Mulberry, Valentino, Calvin Klein, Fendi, Gucci, Hugo Boss and Missoni.

The 45-year-old will start his new role on 1 August
