Garment District Confidential
Back in the wild 90's, we lived and breathed the rag trade! The designers, salespeople, and garment center executives navigating the beautiful chaos of the fashion industry. We survived the sample rooms, the showroom drama, the buyers, the factories, and the occasional fashion emergency that could only happen in New York City. And more specifically... the legendary Garment District. Every episode we’re pulling back the curtain and telling the down-and-dirty, slightly scandalous, and very funny stories about what it was really like to work in the Garment Center, because trust us, the fashion industry was not always glamorous... but it was always entertaining. So grab a coffee, sharpen your scissors, and prepare yourself...Because what happens in the Garment District....eventually ends up on this podcast.
