Fashion New Source Pt. 5

Women’s Wear Daily

Since its inception in 1910, Women’s Wear Daily magazine has been a leading force in the apparel industry. As an informational staple, the magazine covers general topics such as: fashion, business, beauty, men’s, runway, and accessories. Each topic has several sub-topics. For example, a few that business is broken down into are: trade, HR, marketing, retail, and markets. From a business student’s perspective, WWD gives a really good big picture view in regards to long term strategies. This information can be vital for higher-ups and even for students like us. There are not many sources that have a section devoted solely towards mergers & acquisitions or markets. This is why I like Women’s Wear Daily, because it can give me information that is easy to access sources sometimes require a subscription for.

If you watched NYFW and wanted to look at the styles, WWD has a review of all different designers with an analysis on the lines and photos of the collection. Click here to see more

Fashion News Source Pt. 3

Here we are again, back with the third installation of fashion news sources. This media outlet is very special. They are relatively young, being around for just about 6 years, though they have made a name for themselves, both in the media world and in the world of their readers. I’m proud to introduce you all to our next news source.

Industry Dive

Created with executives in mind, Industry offers insightful analysis on key topics in a variety of industries. Starting out with only two industries, over their 6 successful years, Industry Dive now covers thirteen industries: biopharma, CIO, construction, education, food, HR, healthcare, marketing, retail, smart cities, supply chain, utility, and waste. For students at FIT, we are most likely interested in their retail coverage.

Retail Dive is not specific to the apparel industry, but seeing how the apparel industry is massive, it is often covered. From e-commerce to brick-and-mortar, Retail Dive covers the major stories. You can subscribe to Retail Dive to get important articles sent to you so that you never miss a beat.

As a Production Management student at FIT, it is hard for me to not bring up Supply Chain Dive. The supply chain is a major component of any product, and all FIT students should be aware of what is going on in the industry to some extent. Again, you can subscribe to Supply Chain Dive to make sure you receive articles in your email.

I highly recommend looking at Industry Dive and seeing what interests you. They cover all the major happenings in the respective industries and truly supply information worthy of an executives time.
