    garment center nytimes

    With so much attention recently on New York’s apparel manufacturing, from the rally to the HBO documentary, the Garment Center is finally getting the recognition it deserves.  But the events do not end there; tomorrow on Tuesday November 17th there will be a discussion held called, What is the future of New York City’s garment district?  The panel will be held downtown, at Studio X (180 Varick Street, Ste 1610) at 6:30pm.  Among those speaking are, Barry Dinerstein (NYC’s City Planner), Stan Herman (Former President of the CFDA), Barbara Randall (President of the Fashion Center Business Improvement District), and several more.  So please come and show your support, the event is free and open to the public.

    ** Update, we just got back from hearing a fascinating group of people discuss our favorite topic, the Garment Center and we will have a full report on our experience next week, so stay tuned!**

      Thanks for sharing this! Hopefully the area will not turn into another Time Square tourist trap.

      I saw the HBO documentary and it taught me so much about the history of the garment industry in NYC and in the US. I absolutely loved it.
