industry resources

The Fashion Center is your one-stop shop for New York City fashion industry information, but there are also an abundance of other great industry resources out there, and each of them has something unique to offer. We’ve compiled the following to help you find what you’re looking for, but if you still need assistance, you can always stop by the Fashion Center Information Kiosk (the ‘big button’) to speak with an expert in person. Or you can access our Fashion Information Database, a searchable online directory of the many fashion companies that make the Fashion District the fashion capital of the world!
