Iconic fashion trade publication Women’s Wear Daily (WWD) is celebrating its 100-year anniversary with a special issue available on newstands Monday.
The 321-page commemorative issue, which is priced at $12.95, chronicles some of fashion’s most game-changing moments from the past century.
The centerpiece article, “The 100 Remarkable Moments,†takes a look at the designers, celebrities, trends and events that have shaped fashion since 1910. We’re talking flappers, first ladies, the dawn of hip-hop style and style milestones such as the debut of Christian Dior’s ‘New Look.’
Other features in the issue include “We Said It,†a rundown of fashion lingo that originated at WWD (i.e., former publisher John Fairchild coined the term “Fashion Victimâ€); “Life and Times,†a visual history of WWD from 1910 to 2010; “Almost, Almost Famous,’ which rehashes early WWD interviews with some now-famous faces; and “They Said It,’ featuring hundreds of WWD quotes from some of the past century’s most memorable personalities.
A must-read for true-blue fashion fans.
