Fairchild Publications was founded in 1892[1] 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.

[7] In 2010, Fairchild launched Menswear[8] and took over the consumer-centric Style.com, previously part of Condé Nast Publications.

[9] In 2012, FFM sold its Fairchild Books division to Bloomsbury Publishing for $6.5 million.

[10] The same year, it acquired Fashion Networks International, a blog network founded by swedish entrepeneur Christian Remröd[11], with contributors that included Anna Dello Russo, Bryanboy, Rumi Neely, and Derek Blasberg.

[12] In August 2014, Advance Publications announced that it would sell FFM, save for Style.com and NowManifest, to Penske Media Corp. for $100 million.
