History

Who What Wear was launched in 2006 by former Elle Magazine West Coast editor Katherine Power and Elle contributor Hillary Kerr.[2] The business began as a simple daily fashion eNewsletter and blog, with posts about the latest fashion news.[3]

In August 2009, the company published its first fashion book, Who What Wear: Celebrity and Runway Style For Real Life.[4]

In March 2011, they published their second book, What to Wear, Where.[5]

In 2012, the two founders launched Clique Media Group (now Clique Brands), a media and marketing company, and Who What Wear became the group's first media brand.[2]

In February 2016, Who What Wear partnered with department store retailer Target Corporation to launch a clothing and accessory line.[1]

In 2017, the company held its first live fashion show, as part of New York Fashion Week, and streamed the event on YouTube Live.[6]

In May 2019, as its first spinoff, the company launched Versed, a 19 piece skincare line sold at Target. The products were designed to be free of toxins and with minimalist packaging, and are also available online on the company's own website.[7]
