Happy Year of the Ox!
By admins | January 26, 2009
Kung Hei Fat Choy! It’s that time of year again; Chinese New Year is upon us. So, Happy New Year to all those celebrating. Those of you who work in the fashion business this means that for the next week or two your lives will be a lot calmer (except Fashion Week drama of course). Since most apparel is produced overseas these days, we are all constantly working with factories, sample rooms, and fabric mills in Asia. However, during Chinese New Year, factories in China, Hong Kong, and Thailand to name a few, will close thus giving us all a much needed break. Some may have domestic and European vendors to still deal with, but still the workload is drastically reduced. This may be the only time of year that apparel industry professionals, can take a full lunch break or actually see daylight during the work week. So to all of you that worked so hard to make the CNY deadlines, enjoy the coming days while they last!
By the way this is also a great time to visit New York’s Chinatown. If you’ve never made it to the New Year’s Dragon Parade, it’s worth it to go at least once. The opening firecracker ceremony begins today at 11am and the big parade will be held next Sunday. This is the year of the Ox, which brings stability, good fortune and prosperity, hmm sounds like all things we need right now!
