If you read my last post then you will understand this one. My last post talked about the "Schmatta: Rags To Riches To Rags". How many remember that it wasn't long after the premiere of the HBO special that designers decided to react. Designers of all standings, from top designers such as Michael Kors and Elie Tahari to young fashion workers and design students showed up to support what believe in.
It all took place at 39th Street and Seventh Avenue. Can you say LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!!!!
The goal of the rally was to encourage government officials to protect the city's shrinking clothing production district. Designers came together as one big voice carrying signs bearing slogans such as "It's Sew New York" and "Save the Garment Center".
Some of the best were present to support the rally. There were even supporters who were not present such as Donna Karan, Betsey Johnson and Anna Sui.
