An article by NBC explores the challenges and opportunities within New York City's historic Garment District, a hub for American fashion manufacturing. Once home to hundreds of thousands of workers, the district now employs around 5,000 skilled artisans serving luxury designers and theater productions. Amid these changes, City Hall has proposed initiatives to preserve at least 300,000 square feet of space for garment manufacturing, supporting the industry while accommodating real estate development.
Ferrara Manufacturing continues to exemplify the importance of local production. "The Garment District is more than just a place—it’s a vital part of New York’s creative heartbeat," says Gabrielle Ferrara, COO of Ferrara Manufacturing. "By keeping our operations local, we’re not only preserving a legacy but also ensuring that future designers and makers have the resources they need to thrive."
