Dressing America (2009)

New York's fashion district - otherwise known as the Garment Center - has always held sway over the imaginations of the style-conscious and those seeking glamour. This little slice of Manhattan has nurtured the likes of retailers and designers - from Hattie Carnegie to Donna Karan - in their quest to create world-class fashions that have made generations of Americans feel and look stylish. It has also provided employment for countless metropolitan area residents and it continues to draw visitors from around the world - many of whom come to study at the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology. Dressing America will tell a quintessentially American story.
