What is Made in NY: Fashion?
A public initiative.
With guidance and oversight from the Mayor’s Office, Made in NY: Fashion lives within New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), the City’s primary engine for driving economic growth, entrepreneurship, and job creation.
A suite of programs.
In collaboration with the private sector, Made in NY: Fashion is responsible for creating, developing, and implementing an array of specific programs to fortify fashion’s design, manufacturing, and educational sectors.
A community.
Made in NY: Fashion serves as an anchor for all facets of the City’s fashion landscape in order to strengthen its sense of community. Join the community.
A movement.
We want to capitalize on the fashion world’s increasing support for local enterprises and local consumption. The mission of Made in NY: Fashion is to make people aware of not only the beauty of their clothing but also of the economic impact of supporting and purchasing clothes that are predominantly designed, embellished, finished, or manufactured in New York City.
A logo.
Made in NY is an iconic logo developed by Radical Media and owned by the City of New York, which has been in use since 2005 as a symbol of local production.
New York represents the pinnacle of innovation, creativity, and excellence within the fashion industry. Although I am a third-generation fashion businessmen, New York is the place where I built my company and serves as an endless source of new inspiration. I am proud to support this program that highlights the spirit of the City and its impact on emerging designers.
