SCHMATTA: Rags to Riches to Rags
http://www.blowbackproductions.com/schmatta.shtml
Stumbled on this one last night and became engulfed. Fascinating look at the history of the clothing industry and fashion and design and the people that made it happen in the 20th century and it's rise and fall. Amazing Amazing documentary I thought.
I thought it was worth mention as it hits home in looking at how the clothing and apparel industry has changed and morphed and the designer industry emerged, and the past, present and future of the industry in terms of domestic vs imported apparel work. Also in how that parallels industry in the U.S. in general.
I was thoroughly engrossed, having little knowledge of the "Schmatta" district and it's significance to U.S. clothing and industry overall.
Anyone else see it?
