Edward Enninful has been announced as the new editor of British Vogue.

Enninful will replace Alexandra Shulman, who announced she was stepping down in January 2017 after 25 years with the publication.

As the current fashion and style director of American publication W Magazine, Enninful brings a wealth of knowledge and life experience.

Here are five things you need to know about the new chief:
