New York strengthens its position as the capital of fashion in this Fashion Week
With this impeccable start to the most important week in NY, the city is also expected to strengthen itself as the world fashion reference.
The fashion design industry has made New York a star and hotspot for the haute couture market. We cannot think of New York without thinking of fashion.
The current mayor of the city explained that although NYC has been the most popular fashion center for more than 60 years, this market needs to be strengthened. He also announced the opening of the industrial Hub in the city.
That also brings the “Made in NY” project, a brand that we will see much more after this publication, and lets us know that the glamor of New York announces new spotlights!
The start of Fashion Week brought good news
To kick off New York Fashion Week, ex-police officer Eric Adams, current mayor of Manhattan and its surroundings, announced the long-awaited opening of the “Made in NY” industrial hub.
With this new renewed project, a new exhibitor for the industry and production was suggested to be the work of NY. While in the words of Adams, the hub will consolidate its position as the city of fashion.
A Hub is a project where entrepreneurs support each other and make their companies arise because of the community, in this case, the first brand to be part of this group is "Slow Factory".
The space houses a 200,000-square-foot Garment plant and is available to entrepreneurial New Yorkers and Susent Park residents.
Project “Made in NY” begins in Brooklyn
The clothing industry in New York territory has always been seen as a point that had to be improved, so as not to lose the importance of the city in fashion.
In addition to this, since 2017 the creation of a campus located in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, was proposed, which would serve as a space for local brands that are making their way into fashion.
Not only activating the motor of the textile industry, it will also serve for the production of cinema and television. Since these last two professions are paid very well.
So, it will serve as an economic development corporation for the city of the big apple, as well as having a great production and advertising channel that takes “Made in NY” to a new level.
Entrepreneurs in “Made in NY”
All garment manufacturers are invited to walk through the space and fill out a form to lease a space within the entrepreneur hub.
The project page is open to the public and describes all of its attributions and plans towards New York City and fashion.
The first company to join “Made in NY”, as we already mentioned, is “Slow Factory”, which is a non-profit institution that promotes climate justice, regenerative design and innovation in non-harmful organic materials.
In addition to already being useful within the Industrial Hub as a factory for the production of garments with reused fabrics, they also have a research laboratory within their space.
In this place they experiment with various fabrics for implementation in clothing and accessories, such as natural leather.
Slow Factory is also planning to open free courses for the Sunset Park community at its school on climate change.
NY program seeks to improve services and jobs
Its main functions are to help any type of company to prosper within the market, smoothly and as efficiently as possible. From inside to outside.
The creators of this project hope that their employees will also be satisfied with respect to their needs, so that security and tranquility at work will not be shaken in any way.
That is to say, Made in NY campus provides a series of comforts to both the employer and the employee, favoring the space for their ease of daily movement.
Some of these benefits include: on-site parking, nearby retail stores, all-day childcare, and other peace of mind for working parents.
What makes New York the city of fashion?
This trend, from the city that never sleeps, in fashion dates back to the 1940s, when it began with the organization of fashion week. The territory today full of skyscrapers has always been cultured by the textile industry.
Year after year it has been presented as the perfect setting for the new faces of fashion design. In addition to having its extravagant "Fifth Avenue", where the sale of haute couture is the protagonist in every corner.
Getting to NY Fashion Week is a goal for any designer, and now by having a registered brand in association with companies with varied implementations, the city will have an added engine.
What will clearly raise it to a higher level and will be the head of several advanced positions in other cosmopolitan cities, such as: Paris, Milan and London.
