Bridge & Boro | A brief history of New York City’s Garment District

alfa-magazine.co.uk

NYC’s historic Garment District is just one square mile, from 35th to 41st street between 5th and 9th Avenue.

As cheap labor became more easily available in the 80’s and 90’s those numbers began to dwindle.

Bridge and Boro: A New York City Clothing Brand

Working with artisan brands is great because you are always only a few steps away from the owners and designers who made the products.  They are almost always accessible and excited to tell their stories.  Talking to small and medium American manufacturers is inspiring, because they give so much just to survive, and have a committed drive that manifests as self-confidence.  Just the other day, I had the pleasure of talking with Bridge and Boro’s founder Fabio Bari about his business, his passion, and what has now become his livelihood.  Read more...
