Fairchild Media is a publisher of fashion trade magazines, websites, and conferences for the fashion, retail and beauty industries. Fairchild Media brands include ''Women’s Wear Daily'', ''Footwear News'' (FN), ''Beauty Inc'', ''M'' and ''Fairchild Summits.'' ==History== Fairchild Publications was founded in 1892 when Edmund Fairchild, a peddler, took over the ''Daily Trade Record'' (later the ''Daily News Record'' and ''DNR''), a failing newspaper that covered the men's clothing business. In June 1910, an insert called "Women's Wear" first appeared in the ''Record''; a month later, Fairchild published it as a standalone publication, known today as ''Women's Wear Daily''. In 1968, the company—then named Fairchild Publications—was purchased by Capital Cities Communications. In 1996, The Walt Disney Company acquired Capital Cities/ABC. In 1997, Disney announced its intention to sell Fairchild, but it wasn't until 1999 that it sold Fairchild to Advance Publications, the parent company of Condé Nast Publications, for $650 million. In 2005, Advance Publications folded Fairchild into Condé Nast Publications and rebranded the division as the Fairchild Fashion Group. In 2008, it folded ''DNR''. In 2010, Fairchild launched ''Menswear'' and took over the consumer-centric Style.com, previously part of Condé Nast Publications. In 2011, Fairchild Fashion Group was renamed Fairchild Fashion Media; in October of that year, FFM launched ''Style.com/Print'', a print magazine extension of the brand. In 2012, FFM sold its Fairchild Books division to Bloomsbury Publishing for $6.5 million. The same year, it acquired Fashion Networks International, a blog network with contributors that included Anna Dello Russo, Bryanboy, Rumi Neely, and Derek Blasberg. In August 2014, Advance Publications announced that it would sell FFM, save for Style.com and ''NowManifest'', to Penske Media Corp. for $100 million. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fairchild Fashion Media」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
