A Wider Lens

Tonya Blazio-Licorish, Fabric Styling ’96, and archives editor at Fairchild Media Group looks at 100 years of WWD’s documentation of Black contributions to the industry in her book Black in Fashion. “WWD knows where fashion takes place,” she says. “It’s making notes on fashion influences from Josephine Baker to Rihanna. It’s interested in streetwear before everyone else. You can see that the journal was as inclusive as it could be at the time.”
