publications

The Fashion Center strives to be an industry and district-wide resource, and we frequently publish a variety of public documents in furtherance of this mission. We report on the economic climate of the Fashion District every year, we publish a quarterly newsletter, we provide a directory of Fashion-related goods and services, we’ve worked with historians to write a detailed history of the neighborhood, and we even report on our own vital signs. If you’re looking for something in the District, chances are we’ve reported on it.
