Rags to Riches - Garment district story

RAGS TO RICHES
The Garment Dist. Story
I know everyone loves fashion from the clothes to the shoes to the accessories. But there is a big problem up brewing withing the NY fashion industry that will affect everyone. Alot of us are unaware that one day there might not be any garment district. Do to real estate pressures and new zoning laws alot of the garment industry business are being moved out and commercial businesses are moving in. Fashion HQ's and trimmers and suppliers have occupied the midtown area for over a century. You know without the garment district all these fabulous clothing lines we love, cherish and die for would not be prevalent. We need to all take account and save the garment district. Its a staple in NY's linage. If there was no garment district it would be like NY without soho. That would be crazy!!!! Well a documentary called Schmatta: Rags To Riches To Rags." is being made to signify the closing of the garment district. Check it out.
