Fairchild's WWD celebrates 100 years and brings 10 year old Style.com to join the group

Big events for two of the largest resources for the fashion obsessed.



WWD, a Fairchild Publication and an icon in the fashion industry, celebrates 100 years as a publication. This month in celebration of this momentous occasion, WWD published a large edition for their milestone, filled with images, photos and features highlighting the history of the industry that they have captured in the pages of their newspaper for the past 100 years. This is an edition not to be missed and I encourage fashion enthusiasts, industry professionals and especially students and young people entering the fashion industry to pick up a copy and read some of the features. Being a fashion enthusiast and professional myself I get so excited learning more about the industry I fell in love with. As you turn through the pages of the milestone edition you read about the outside influences of fashion for the past 100 years, the founders of the New York fashion industry, the history of the designers who lead the industry today and much, much more.

In addition to WWD celebrating 100 years Fairchild Fashion group also brought the fashion resource Style.com (formerly of Conde Nast) to their group. Mutually the two companies are very positive that this is the best way to proceed for the future of Style.com. Beginning last year and continuing this year, Conde Nast Digital has made other changes to their portfolio which included giving W and Vogue their own web sites. In addition the former Men.Style.com folded and became part of GQ. This leaves us with the question, "What is next for Conde Nast Digital?"
