The Neighborhood and Surroundings
The “Garment District” has been known since the early 20th century as the center for fashion manufacturing and fashion design in the United States, and throughout the world. The neighborhood is home to many of New York City's showrooms and to numerous major fashion labels, and caters to all aspects of the fashion process from design and production to wholesale selling.
While historically known as the center of textile manufacturing, global trends have changed the way the fashion industry in the Garment District functions. Over the last 50 years, New York’s garment manufacturing sector has experienced a steady decline within the City overall and within the Garment District specifically. Nevertheless, the Garment District remains home to a number of well-known fashion apparel designers and related supportive businesses. Today, the Garment District’s newest tenants are a mix of technology, advertising, media and information companies that have added their own stamp on the character of the Garment District. Your business should be here.
