Description
In spite of the 200+ years of clothing productionevolution in the US, and several challengesposed by outsourcing for cheaper laboursupplies, New York has remained America'sfashion capital. Much like the fashion regionsthat would later develop around production inItaly, within New York an entire community ofdesign, production, distribution, commerce andmarketing existed. Skilled workers of Jewishand Italian descent, the giant retailers anddepartment stores, the publishers, the advertisingagencies, the design offices, the bohemiantrend setting arts scene, the model agencies,and the factories all combined to form aneco-system that has managed to create a lastingAmerican footprint on the world's fashionwalk of fame, giving us fashion titans such as Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, and Tom Ford.
