As the rent increases, many garment factories in central Manhattan have closed down or reduced their sizes, and the clothing merchants are more willing to shift production lines and job opportunities overseas to reduce the number of jobs in the fashion area to less than 10 thousand.

Such changes make the car union members feel a crisis.

Huang Chengguang, President of the Chinese Association of workers' Union (WorkersUnited), who attended the rally and demonstration, said that after 911, the decline of the car clothing factory became more and more obvious. A large number of factories closed down, but the government gave too little support.

He believes that to save the local garment industry, the most important thing is to ensure the source of clothing and increase employment, which requires the "change of heart" of fashion brands.

The clothing design industry in New York gradually understands that no local clothing industry, many new designers have not created their own business opportunities, design students can not find the car clothing factory graduation design, New York fashion capital is also unworthy of the name.

So members of the American Fashion Designers Association (CFDA) including Deng Yaoli (YeohleeTeng), Xiao Zhimei (MichaelKors), KennethCole and so on also attended the rally to support the demonstration. (AnnaSui)
