Made in Midtown

By admins | March 21, 2010

Made in Midtown from Design Trust for Public Space on Vimeo.

Today we have the inside scoop for you on a new and upcoming project called, Made in Midtown. The CFDA has partnered with the Design Trust to study New York’s fashion industry and its relationship to the Garment Center. They will be launching a full website in April, but you can check out a preview of it here.  The above video, courtesy of MadeinMidtown.org provides some fascinating insight, from fashion designers and Garment Center supporters, Diane von Furstenberg and Yeohlee Teng.

Made in Midtown will work to guide city policy on land use and zoning in the Garment District by creating a compelling and feasible vision for the role of creative industry in NYC.  They intend to make our neighborhood’s industrial ecosystem visible and accessible to a broad public audience.  We look forward to following their progress and we’ll keep all of you up to date on their launch.
