    Garment Center goes to Washington

    By admins | January 29, 2010

    Last week local designers Nanette Lepore, Yeohlee Teng, and Stan Herman took their Save the Garment Center fight to Washington.  The director and producers for the HBO documentary “Schmatta: Rags to Riches to Rags” attended as well.  There was a special screening of the documentary by Representative Diane Watson and Representative Carolyn Maloney.  Following the screening there was a panel discussion open to all members of congress that included representatives from the apparel unions, designers, and Representative Tim Ryan of the Congressional Manufacturing Caucus.

    We are thrilled to see the Save the Garment Center efforts moving forward.  Finally seeing political attention being paid to support the fashion industry and specifically domestic production is wonderful. Nanette Lepore has done an enormous job in increasing Garment Center awareness.  To show your support and stay on top on of all of the latest Garment Center happenings join their Facebook page by clicking here.
