I was honoured to be invited to attend this month’s Fashion Business club meeting.

This month’s FBC meeting saw Bally Creative director, Michael Herz interview i-D magazine Creative Director and world renowned stylist, Edward Enninful.

Herz interviewed Enninful on his notable work and acclaimed career to date. Enninful is pictured on the right in image one, with Herz on the left. Both are pictured again in image two with FBC founders Alison Whelan on left and Courtney Blackman on the right. Herz is pictured again with Courtney Blackman in the last image.

Enninful spoke about his first juncture into the world of fashion which began when he was spotted as a model at 16 on the train by renowned stylist Simon Foxton. Foxton introduced him to legendary Photographer Nick Knight.

He also talked about what it was like working with the likes of makeup artist Pat McGrath, model Kate Moss, Photographer Craig McDean before each respective creative became world renowned.

During the inspiring interview, Michael Herz asked Edward Enninful what it was like to be named i-D (Enninful became fashion editor at i-D at 18 years old).

It was such an inspiration hearing about his work at i-D, Vogue Italia, American Vogue etc.

It is evident that Edward is still as excited about creating imagery and his styling editorials, campaigns and high fashion shows as he was when first he started twenty years ago.
