New York City has been the centre of fashion in the United States since the late 19th century. As ready-to wear became more effective and celebrated as part of the way of life in New World, New York rapidly became indisputable centre for factory garment manufacturing. Immigrants have shaped the garment industry in New York City from its very start.

Development of the Garment industry in New York City
The dominance of New York over the American, Garment industry emerged in the 19th century. As in other manufacturing sectors, New York outperformed cities such as Boston, Philadelphia ,Location with deep seaports and access to Vast hinterlands of the Great Lakes region. Concentrated in New York City than any of the sexes of manufacturing the United States. By 1890, 44% ready made clothes in the place in the United States were manufactured in New York.
employment in the New York comment industry peaked during the 2nd world war when New York produced 70% of the unit prior stresses in the United States.
Yet the high wages and unionised workers also contributed to the garment industries decline in New York. Although it was not clear until the late 1950s New York's dominance in the garment trade had in fact been eroding since the 1930s. (Green 1997).
The restriction of immigration after the 1920s and the success of the garment workers Union faith led to a steady wage rise in New York. The the standardised mass production into the comic industry left New York and went in search of cheap labor publications versus surrounding states and then to the south, where labor was for to be docile and in abundant supply. Since the 1960s, Mass., such as 5 internationalized Asia and Latin America. Importing clave being accounted for less than $.15 the United States mocking the 1960s, but grew to save a team sent in the 1980s. Nowadays, craving cells in the United States bad labels from federal countries led for the world. There will say steep declines in common employment, and the textual number of New York, workers on the payroll declines in 1998 to less than 4% of what was in the 1973.
A sizable section of the fashion it just race to the New York City have especially the more fashion orientated segments in particular women's and girls out 12. (To mass production. And this less likely to move offshore. Women's after West has become an increasingly central parts of the New York common industry, employing about 70% of the the garment labour force in 1998, the common industry was still the number 1 manufacturing sector in the New York at the end of the 1990s. new york city continues to occupy the top positions in garments produced within the United States.
The resilience of New York's garment manufacturing depends, as in the past , on agglomeration and immigration (waldinger 1986)
New York City's garment industry is currently fresh the soaring real estate prices of the late 1990s. Due to the demonstrable office space in Manhattan, the rent in the garment district is risen to the level unaffordable to many common makers. According to a report by Center for an urban future, for the 1st time ever, in 1998 fashion industry employees make them can teach Judy denied charity of the employees the midtown fashion district. Chinatown, another centre of garment manufacturing, facing the real estate pressure.As a result many garment times may tell Manhattan to after bars like Queens and Brooklyn last estate to New Jersey. The talk fusion might well give a face to play to New York City's competitiveness in the garment industry, although it is still too early to assess its overall effect.
Another fact in the persistence of the garment industry in New York City is, of course the supply of cheap immigrant labor. Such of immigrants since 1965 provided a fresh inflow of labour formation last in America. The decline of of the manufacturing segment to us in the city, the garment industry has become all the more attractive to for unskilled immigrants.
manufacturers purchase materials, design,, assemble and finish the final project, I market it for retailers.
Job is the outsourcing manufacturers, doing everything manufacturers did fit assemble and finished the garment. This is contracted out to contractors hip-hop, make, trim and do the fishing. Since manufacturers will say frequently some contract the common assembly to contract is, the difference between manufacturers and Job as is probably in their production capacity for robber than it in their practice. The retailers are usually the major fashion chains of department stores who do the marketing of final sales. The retailers trace the fashion cycles and Smit will does to manufacturers and jobless. Slightly over half the garment revenues is absorbed by the retailers.
Since the 1980s, mergers and acquisitions have juiced the number of retailers as a result they have gained a great deal of authority as regards dictating the price paid manufacturers. Some major retailers such as Macy's also started there in private labels in addition to selling assortment of other manufacturers labels, sent Saturday have to become manufacturers. Manufacturers, jobbers, retailers combined to occupy the professional most profitable end of the industry's.
Angelina 1990s, the common industry New York City was faced with unprecedented pressure from a stagnant domestic market and intense international competition. Slave population growth, the grocery ageing American population, the trend towards casual wear women's amend claims led to the death of practical growth in the peer will purchasing. And if hand, they improve transportation and communication, competitive business infrastructure, distribution networks themselves this this increased the competitiveness of offshore producers. There increasingly capable of producing sophisticated fashion apartheid is closing in short time and the low costs. The In timing, service, and quality between offshore and domestic producers has marriage considered to Billy. These developments have forced New York, make us to focus even more in the high-value added products, striving official to lead times, more styles, high quality, best service in environment current size by etc. to do lifecycle fashion products.
