“New York’s reputation as a global fashion capital is under threat with the city’s once bustling garment district
facing extinction.”
-Michelli Nichols

“In 1960, %95 of clothing sold in the US was made in the US.”
“Now, the figure is down to just 5%.”http://savethegarmentcenter.org/about/
While many manufacturing firms outside of Midtown have closed since 1994, the Garment District and surrounding area have retained a relatively stable core of factories. — Credit: Sarah Williams, Spatial Information Design Lab, GSAPP, Columbia University
WHY ?RISING RENTS – CAUSING THE PRODUCTION TO MOVE FROM THE F.D. TO ABROAD.
HIGH COST OF LABOR
NOT ENOUGH GOVERNMENT PROTECTIONBloomberg administration(in 2009) tried to focus one or more large buildings in the garment district center to perform as a main building of manufacturing and related businesses due to a conflict between landlords and city administration. City officials had wanted to move the garment center to Brooklyn or Queens.

A group of industry stakeholder formed an organization called “Save the Garment Center” and resisted against the government’s offer.

WHY SAVE THE GARMENTDISTRICT ?
“Apple’s iPhone is a model of American ingenuity, but most of its components are manufactured somewhere else. The decline of manufacturing can lead to the loss of
other kinds of jobs, a factor in the American economy right now.”
