Things Fashion Folk are Talking about on the Front Row # 3 SAVE THE GARMENT DISTRICT!
Following on from the campaign last season - things are hotting up. Quick reminder - the Garment district in New York is seen as the lifeforce for a number of american designers who source design and manufacture their collections in the few city blocks between 7th and 8th Aveune around the 30’s. Property developers are trying to move in and move the fashion companies out to redevelop this prime area of Manhatten.
Nanette Lepore started her business in this area as did a number of other designers and wants to see it remain. At her show this season the back stage T-shirt was a slogan in support of the Garment District. The design team took the opportunity to customise their T’s, with Nanette and her daughter taking a final bow at the end of the runway in theirs.
They even got me wearing one.
