Tangerine NYC Women's Fashion
Each and every Tangerine NYC product is carefully crafted with french seams and the finest silk. And this season, the brand has released a range of cotton blouses, tanks and dresses to give women even more options to wear their favorite Tangerine NYC patterns and colors.

NYC Fashion Forward Internships 2016

Aspiring fashionistas from the five boroughs are gaining a marvelous opportunity to jump start a career in New York City’s most glamorous industry (yes, I mean the fashion industry).

Gabrielle Fialkoff, senior advisor to Mayor Bill de Blasio, announced the launch of NYC Fashion Forward which appears to be a public-private partnership backed by the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) and the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC).  The program plans to create a significant amount of paid internships to local students who aspire to work in fashion.

NYC Fashion Forward includes 100 paid spots at designers, including Alice + Olivia, J Crew and Coach.

The city announced on Monday a new program that connects high school and college students with internships in fashion.

Students can apply for NYC Fashion Forward through the Ladders for Leaders program.  Internships run for six weeks, starting in July.  Salaries vary depending on the designer.

For the summer of 2016, as part of NYC Fashion Forward, NYCEDC will commit to financially back 60 summer jobs, created in collaboration with the Mayor’s Fund, the CFDA and the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development, that pair participating students with employers that will be able to best offer real world training and mentorship. In addition, the Mayor’s Fund and CFDA will work with prominent, large-scale fashion firms across the city to create the remaining 40 employer-funded summer internships.   

The following employers have committed to host young people this year through NYC Fashion Forward:

3.1 Phillip Lim
Alice + Olivia
CFDA
Coach
David Wolfson & Associates, Inc.
Design Incubator Inc.
Designers & Agents
Diane von Furstenberg
J. Crew
Haskell Jewels LLC
K/LLER COLLECTION
Kate Spade & Company
Krupp Group
Lulu Frost
Maison De Mode
Melissa Joy Manning
New York Embroidery Studio
Nicholas K
Opening Ceremony
Rachel Comey
Timo Weiland
Tommy Hilfiger

NYC Fashion Forward is part of the NYC Center for Youth Employment’s ongoing efforts to create pipelines of young talent into our city’s industries, in order to build employment services that meet the needs of both the youngest New Yorkers and city business. Launched in May 2015 by the Mayor’s Fund, the NYC Center for Youth Employment has a specific goal of supporting 100,000 unique work-related experiences each year, including high-quality summer jobs, career exposure, skills-building, and supportive mentorships, by 2020. In collaboration with city agencies, employers and other stakeholders, the Center is also focused on evaluating the city’s youth workforce system as a whole, with an eye toward expanding effective programs and filling in gaps.   

Are you familiar with the MADE Fashion Week and Made in NY?

Announced by Mayor Bill de Blasio in February 2015 at MADE Fashion Week, the ambitious suite of ‘Made in NY’ fashion initiatives tripled the City’s investment in the local fashion economy from $5 million to $15 million. Part of the City’s expansion of its signature ‘Made in NY’ program, the new fashion initiatives set out to cultivate a robust pipeline of fashion industry talent within New York City, catalyze growth of emerging creative businesses, and support fashion manufacturing facilities across all five boroughs.  To date, the initiatives have showcased over 150 local fashion brands to an estimated 650 million people; connected emerging businesses with over 75 industry-leading mentors; generated $500,000 in sales for New York City-based designers; and awarded over $4.5 million in financing and prizes to emerging and small businesses.

Ups & Downs of New York Fashion Design Offices

Kmart Holding Corporation announced on April 27, 2004 the opening of the Kmart Design Group Office in New York. The office, located at 111 8th Avenue, is the first product design presence Kmart has held in New York and became the home to Lisa Schultz, Senior Vice President and Chief Creative Officer, and her team of designers.  In the fall of 2004, Kmart was to unveil its first collection that has been entirely refocused and redesigned in-house by the Kmart Design Group. With a focus on quality and style, the design team was to redefine Kmart's exclusive brands and offer customers an even wider range of products, all at a great value.

Note: The merger of Kmart and Sears as Sears Holdings Corporation closed on March 24, 2005.

In May 2006, Mayor Bloomberg and Governor Pataki joined Alwyn Lewis, president and C.E.O. of Sears Holding Corporation, in Hudson Square to cut the ribbon on 45,000 square feet of new design offices for Sears and Kmart apparel lines.  The company moved its existing design office from Chelsea with 80 employees to One Hudson Square at Canal and Varick streets., and planned to add 120 new jobs as a result of the move.

In an article about Sears store closures posted on April 21, 2016 it has been mentioned that Sears New York Design office may be closing.  The Sourcing Journal Online reported, “In addition to the store closures, a person familiar with the matter told Sourcing Journal that the company also plans to shut its New York design office in July as part of a strategy to reduce costs and consolidate the team in San Francisco, where its West Coast apparel office is located.”  Full article at: https://sourcingjournalonline.com/sears-confirms-more-store-closures/

We have not yet seen an official news report from Kmart Holding, but consolidating with the San Fran office may make good sense.

Find more clothing store news at the Fashion News Articles website (and obviously here on the Fashion Blog).

As a reminder, Walmart did not fair to well moving their design office to New York either.

Walmart New York Fashion Design Office

In July 2007, Walmart executive offices head to New York City.  On July 23, 2007 SL Green Realty Corp. announced that it had completed a 10-year lease agreement at 1372 Broadway in New York with the world’s second largest corporation, retailer, Wal-Mart Stores East, L.P. Wal-Mart, will occupy the entire second floor and second floor mezzanine, comprising a total of 46,103 square feet for executive offices.

In October 2011 it was reported that Walmart was closing its Midtown New York fashion office.  The apparel office, located at 1372 Broadway between 38th and 39th streets, housed about 275 employees.  After moving its apparel office to New York in 2009 with great fanfare about fashion,  Wal-Mart Stores Inc.  is packing up the operation and moving it back to its Bentonville, Ark., headquarters, where it will double-down on basics.  Rather than go for trendy, Wal-Mart had been shifting its merchandising focus back to a basic assortment of socks, underwear, jeans, etc.

Note: Walmart still maintains a presence in New York.

Cityzen by Azin has Out of this World Fashion

Cityzen by Azin designer Azin Valy uses NASA satellite imagery of the world’s capitals printed on the finest fabrics and materials to create women’s and men’s apparel and accessories.  The process merges art, culture, geography, fashion and photography into high concept global style. 

Azin utilizes her award-winning architectural expertise from her previous career to match topographical details in the NASA imagery to specific details on her designs.  The Tiber River appears as a thin ribbon in the satellite image and forms a strap on the “Rome” dress.  The Zagros mountain range becomes the gathered neckline of the “Teheran” dress.  Closer to home, the George Washington Bridge straddles the front and back of the “New York” dress establishing distinct New York and New Jersey sides. 
New York & New Jersey Satellite Imagery Dress
According to Valy, “Cityzen blends the human form with the urban landscape to link people to the places they love the most.”  Each item includes a hangtag with a mini-map and travel guide to the hippest places and events in the city represented in the design.
Available from the Cityzen online shop and at select specialty stores in Chicago, Pittsburgh, Washington, DC, New York, New Jersey and around the country, men’s scarves and pocket squares make up around 25% of her business. Scarves start at $185 with made-to-order dresses from $1,000 and bags beginning at $800.
