This photo was taken in 1955, but similar activity could be seen in the Garment District into the 1980s. Dresses made in the factories are being wheeled to—a department store? (Macy's is in the vicinity, as were Gimbel's, Saks 34th St., Ohrbach's, and others.) Or a truck to carry them further afield?

It's good to watch where you're going, because occasionally you'll find stuff like this. It's like a Rorschach test of sorts.

I see Orville Redenbacher. I guess that means I want popcorn.

i really wish weepster had voiceclips that weren't just crying sfx (as much as i love the crying sfx) so i could make him a jinriki utau voicebank and semi-help him fulfill his career aspirations of becoming a vocaloid

A typical day in the Garment District, this one on October 8, 1952, a bustling hub of fashion and manufacturing. The workers who cut, sewed, and pushed endless racks and hand-trucks around the midtown neighborhood were “the living embodiment of New York’s working-class economy, whose sweat and long hours draped the shoulders of the rest of the country,” The New York Times reported in 2012. A stretch of 7th Avenue, between 26th and 42nd Streets, was officially designated “Fashion Avenue” in 1972.

This week, we got the chance to visit Create a Marker, one of the few garment manufacturers left in the district. Everything is sourced and made here. They work with just about any brand you could think of, primarily focusing on ready to wear. They also encourage up and coming designers to work with them to get a head start on their brand which I think is very inspiring. A key takeaway that I learned from this visit was hearing about the different types of measurements and margins that they have to use when manufacturing garments for a brand. Thank you Create a Marker for your time and amazing experience!
