fashion_ave_686

Nanette Lepore leading and organizing the rally spoke out about legislation to promote production in the garment. The iconic fashion symbol was packed with an upwards of 600-800 people all in support of saving the world’s fashion capitol. Industry supporters like the CFDA, The New School, Fit Alumni, GWFCC and a roster of designers teamed up with Lepore to take a stand.  With the fashion district united as one voice we heard from Controller Bill Thompson, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, and Designer Nanette Lepore speak out. Save The Garment Center rally isn’t just about rents, or zoning, but supporting the American workforce. Let’s call attention to a problem that requires help from everyone to ensure the district’s continued history and prosperity. As a creative industry known for ingenuity that band together to help one another solve this crisis. Its your life, your world and your future what do you have to say about it? -Examiner http://www.savethegarmetcenter.com
