Chioma Nnadi becomes first black British Vogue Editor
The British-born boss of Vogue’s US website is rumoured to have been handpicked to be the next editor of the British fashion magazine by Dame Anna Wintour, who appears to be considering a more bashful appointment after Edward Enninful.
The all-powerful Ms Wintour highly rates New York-based Londoner Chioma Nnadi as she looks to replace her former protégé Mr Enninful who leaves in early 2024.
Chioma is described as low-key, nuanced and even ‘shy’ by colleagues.
London-born Ms Ndadi, whose father is Nigerian and mother Swiss-German, is known as the ‘nicest person at Vogue’.
One colleague told The Times: ‘Chioma is a great choice. She is serious and clever and really knows her stuff. She doesn’t suffer fools’.
Nnadi, who is rumoured to be single, lives with a flatmate in New York but is said to be happy to relocate to London to be closer to her family.
Chioma credits her dad for igniting her passion for fashion – and says she still wears his vintage clothes now.
Her mixed-race and multi-cultural background makes her stand out in the world of fashion, she has said.
