New York Fashion Week came — and went — with plenty of exciting moments, including the two-day Fashion Museum gallery at Fairchild Media and the launch of the WWD store to coincide with the show. As Fashion Month continues with fashion weeks in London, Milan and Paris, now is a great time to buy a piece of fashion history that adds some sartorial magic to any living space.
The WWD Store has a treasure trove of iconic fashion moments captured in photographs from the Fairchild Media archives. With this new digital store, fans of design, style and photography can own candid and staged moments of fashion history, including behind-the-scenes images and showroom photos.
Since 1892, WWD has documented key moments in fashion and is now sharing its unparalleled behind-the-scenes access with the world. These exclusive photos, which date back to the 60s, show how fashion has evolved over the years and pay tribute to the talent behind it who envisioned the future of fashion and made it a reality.
“Not only is the WWD Store a natural extension of Fairchild’s 110-year heritage, it’s also a testament to how the brand continues to build its equity and grow in new ways and on new platforms to connect with industry and the consumer we serve,” says Amanda Smith, president of Fairchild Media Group.
Prints from legends of the photographic medium – from Michel Maurou and Tim Jenkins to Guy Marineau – are available alongside the signature call of luxury fashion designers such as Ralph Lauren, Anne Klein, Karl Lagerfeld and Halston. Art ranges from $20 for a small-scale unframed print to $560 for large-scale framed photos, making a great gift idea for yourself or the fashionista on your holiday gift list.
No matter what kind of era you or they are a fan of—Kate Moss’s Calvin Klein years or Halston’s ubiquitous ’70s and ’80s—there’s something for everyone at the WWD store.
