TEXTILES

The textile industry was briefly discussed in a previous article but I would like to expand.

The fashion or garment district is located just below Times Square and spans between 5th and 9th Avenues and 34th to 42nd street. 5th Avenue and Madison Avenue are best known for their high end boutiques and spectacular window displays year round but mainly in the winter. 7th Avenue is where the main offices are located such as design rooms, showrooms, PR companies, and some buying offices.

New York also hosts many fashion events the main ones including fall and spring fashion weeks. Usually held in Bryant Park or Lincoln Center, fashionistas can find fashion shows and industry events.
