Fashion Ave

It started as a few blocks, in a few buildings on 7th Avenue in New York City. Over the years, it has expanded from 7th Avenue to Broadway, 34th Street to 41st Street, a few side streets, the Empire State Building, and a couple of other place.

It's the New York Garment Center. A number of years ago, several streets were given 'honorary names'. 7th Avenue, in the garment center was given the name Fashion Avenue.

Each building covers a certain part of the market, with 7th Avenue having more expensive manufacturers than Broadway. Each building is filled with showrooms from the very inexpensive clothing to designer labels.

These few blocks are the very heart of the apparel industry in the U.S.
