Eric Musgrave is to leave his role as editorial director of Drapers on 4 November to resume his career as a freelance journalist and fashion industry consultant. Eric was invited by Emap to return to Drapers in July 2013, seven years after he had stepped down from the same role. In July this year Eric was named PPA Business Media Editor of the Year for his work in turning round the fashion industry title. In 2003 he also took the PPA’s B2B Editor of the Year title after creating the modern Drapers from the merger of Drapers Record (founded 1887) and its brother publication Menswear (founded 1902). He started his career on Drapers Record in 1980. Most of his roles have been on B2B titles but he was the launch editor of For Him Magazine (now FHM) in April 1985.
