Merry Christmas Fashionistas!

By admins | December 24, 2009

Wishing all of our dear readers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from 39th & Broadway! The photo above is one of many Garment Center building lobbies decked out for the holidays. To see more neighborhood photos, check out last year’s holiday posts and you may just spy your office here.

We hope most of you are enjoying some well deserved time off this week and spending time with family and friends. No doubt some of you are still working trying to meet deadlines. Considering most apparel these days is unfortunately made overseas, that means many of you are facing tight deadlines during the US holiday season and trying to get samples made before the Chinese New Year. We feel for those working overtime and hopefully come February you will get a bit of a break as well!

To bring a little holiday cheer, and maybe a laugh or two we thought we’d address Christmas fashion.  Yes, this is the one time of year that grown women feel it appropriate to wear sweaters covered in animals, cartoons, or fictitious fat men. The one time of the year when people seem to have forgotten that green and red do NOT go together!  The one time of year when, “jingle bells” and, “floppy red hats” are accepted as accessories. Really?  These sad, sad, holiday faux pas are best appreciated in the following clip from MADtv. Enjoy, and happy holidays!

Over the next week or so we will be taking a little break too. But have no fear there will still be plenty of scoop for you.   Our forum is open and we hope you take advantage of an opportunity to anonymously chat, vent, question, and give advice.
