Chioma Nnadi has emerged as the Head of Editorial Content at British Vogue, making her the first black woman to lead the fashion magazine.

On Monday, delighted Nnadi shared her most recent success on her Instagram account: “I’m so thrilled to announce that I’m the new head of editorial content for @britishvogue. Huge thanks to Anna Wintour, @edward_enninful, and Roger Lynch for giving me this opportunity. I’m truly honored and so excited to be coming home. Stay tuned! And thank you @stefanruizphoto for the photo,” she wrote.
London-born Nnadi, according to fashion icon Anna Wintour, was able to expand the magazine’s reach across several channels and connect it with a digital readership.
On October 9, 2023, she will start in her new position.
