Consumer Titles and Trade TitlesThe two families of fashion magazine do different jobs. Consumer magazines translate the season for shoppers: editorials, celebrity coverage and shopping pages that create desire. Trade magazines serve the professionals behind the clothes, reporting sales figures, executive moves, sourcing changes and category performance. A buyer reads both — the consumer titles to see what customers will ask for, the trades to decide what to stock and from whom. Magazines in the Digital EraPrint circulations have shrunk, but the magazine form survived by moving: titles now publish daily online, through newsletters, podcasts and social channels, while the flagship print issue remains the prestige object. The newsletter and podcast entries in this directory cover the successor formats; the fashion magazine's editorial authority — editors selecting and explaining the season — remains the core of all of them. Common QuestionsWhat are fashion mags?Magazines about fashion — both the glossy consumer titles that present trends to shoppers and the trade publications that report the business of fashion to the people who work in it. What is a trade magazine in fashion?A publication written for an industry segment rather than the public. Accessories Magazine, for example, devotes its editorial entirely to accessories so retailers can plan their accessories programs with timely trends and statistics. Why should fashion insiders read the trades?Because the trades follow the retailers, trends, companies, people and events shaping the business — information that planning, buying and selling decisions depend on.
