The Garment Industry Development Corporation (GIDC) proudly introduces Showroom NY, featuring a select group of designers who produce in New York. GIDC has an exciting mission to strengthen the local apparel industry and help maintain New York City’s position as a global fashion capital. Over the last two decades, GIDC has become the place where design meets production, linking designers, labels, retailers and the City’s high quality manufacturers.
GIDC has assisted hundreds of emerging designers through their Young Designer Program as well as apparel firms and designers like Alice Roi, David Rodriguez, Gap, and the Limited, and has trained thousands of New York garment workers. GIDC was founded in a spirit of industry-wide cooperation as a partnership between, business, and labor. From the beginning, GIDC's Board of Directors include some of the top leaders of New York's Fashion industry including; Elie Tahari; Thomas Murry - COO, Calvin Klein; and Bud Konheim - CEO, Nicole Miller.
By providing a professional location for emerging designers to present their products, meet buyers and vendors, and gain exposure to the greater industry, their orders will become more viable, consistent, and a new source of business for our New York factories.
