Designers Anna Sui and Nanette Lepore saw a special screening of the HBO documentary, Schmatta: Rags to Riches, last night. Come Monday, Oct. 19, at 9 p.m. EDT, you can too. It sheds light on NYC's longstanding Garment District, which is in serious danger of shutting down. Those directly affected by economic and social woes tell their side of the story. Intrigued? Check the schedule and tune in.

Unfortunately (or fortunately because it's so expensive!) I don't have HBO but I do love a good doc and maybe it will be available elsewhere at some point.
1I just watched this documentary - It was pretty good and very informative ----
--- it shocked me to find out that only 5% of clothes are now made in the US.... so many jobs lost to other countries....
Besides American Apparel ( which is made in downtown LA ) does anyone know any other "american made" clothing companies.... I want to give them my support!
