How WWD Documented Black Fashion Over the Past 100 Years with 'Black in Fashion' Book

“Black in Fashion,” a stunning 300-page coffeetable book from WWD and Union Square Publishing, doesn’t just focus on the past century’s most influential Black models, muses, designers, photographers, stylemakers and creatives, but it also celebrates how WWD documented them.

In this episode, Lauren Parker, director of Fairchild Studio, chats with cultural historian and archivist Tonya Blazio-Licorish, the co-author of “Black in Fashion” and Archives Editor/WWD and Fairchild Media Group. They discuss how WWD, the "fashion bible” and flagship publication of Fairchild Media, often broke ground with Black-centric fashion news, features, illustrations and photo shoots, and continues to do so to this day.
