Drapers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Drapers, formerly Drapers Record, was founded on 6 August 1887 as a magazine for the women’s clothing retail trade. It is now the leading weekly business-to-business magazine covering the fashion retail sector.
Once owned by publisher Thomson Corporation, it is now owned by Emap Communications, part of media group Emap.
Former editors include Freddie Offley, who joined Drapers Record in 1930 as a trainee clerk, and went on to become director and managing editor before retiring in 1980. From 2000 to 2006, it was run by editorial director Eric Musgrave. In 2007, it is headed by managing director Malcolm Gough.
In 1961, Drapers Record was bought along with the Illustrated London News, Men’s Wear and the Tatler by the Thomson Corporation and formed into the new Thomson Publications business.
Thomson sold Drapers Record in 1985, along with the Illustrated London News, Family Circle, Living, and Construction News.
From 1988 to 1992, it was known as DR The Fashion Business, but from 1992 it returned to its original name of Drapers Record.
In 2002, Drapers Record merged with sister title, Men’s Wear, which had been launched in 1902, to become simply Drapers.
In November 2006, Emap started making a version of the magazine available digitally by subscription every week. Drapers' magazine also recently relaunched its website.
