WWD, FN, and Beauty Inc now share one powerful platform for global growth

Fairchild Media Group (FMG), a leading style and beauty media brand with publications such as Women's Wear Daily (WWD), Footwear News (FN), Beauty Inc., and Sourcing Journal, is marking significant digital and international growth in 2025. This is as WWD marks its 115th year in existence and FN reaches 80 years of service to the fashion and footwear sectors.

In a significant digital shift this year, FMG re-platformed Footwear News on the WWD site, combining leading fashion and beauty news under one dominant platform. Combined, WWD, FN, and Beauty Inc. reached 8.9 million monthly visitors in May, according to ComScore. Sourcing Journal will follow later this year, with professionals and fashion enthusiasts able to easily access reliable news in one convenient location.

Amanda Smith, CEO of FMG, shared, “By uniting our content, we’re giving designers, leaders, and consumers faster access to the industry’s most reliable stories and insights.” The group is also expanding its live event strategy. Highlights this year include the WWD Beauty CEO Summit, FN80 celebration, and the launch of WWD Culture Club, which explores fashion, business, and culture. The first event took place in London in May.

FMG also expanded its scope with WWD's inaugural Golden Globes red carpet livestream and popular WWD Weekend edition. A-listers Anne Hathaway and Ana de Armas have recently covered WWD, drawing in more high-end fashion enthusiasts. With more than 11 million industry professionals and consumers reached worldwide, FMG remains the fashion and beauty media leader through digital innovation, compelling storytelling, and unforgettable live experiences.
