URBAN FABRIC: Building New York's Garment District

"Seventh Avenue" means Fashion in the same way "Wall Street" means Finance. The architecture of the Garment District shaped the urban stage of Seventh Avenue. The high-rise lofts and showroom towers housed myriad small manufacturers and needle-trade workers-patternmakers, cutters, sewers, pressers, and finishers-as well as the executives, designers, and models for the leading labels. From these factories clothes were shipped to department stores across America or rolled on racks to Macy's or Gimbels an avenue east. Within the anonymous architectural infrastructure of zoned massing and speculative development, decades of enterprising creativity and human toil flowed out onto the streets of the city.
