Two great recent pieces from Time magazine. The first is a spotlight of The Garment District and a nice discussion of U.S. clothing manufacturing. The second is an interesting photo tour of the step-by-step garment production for Nanette Lepore in NYC.

I wonder if the author was inspired by my post last week?

Fantastic Post. I loved the Anatomy of a Garment. It makes you feel that you can start out doing this yourself. I was In New york City in October 2011, and I was looking for the garment district on my trip, but I never felt that I actually found it. On the first article, the Times reported, erroneously, that the US makes 3% of its garments. The math says it is only 2.3% based on the link he provided. -Jack A.
ReplyDeleteThat photo tour is just cool, isn't it? I love the quiet chaos that is in most of the workspaces shown. It looks like a lot of creativity goes down in that frenzy.
