The Garment District- New York City Inspiration
The Garment District
Plaid and neutral hues, buttons
Circular and square,
Diamond studs and golden duds
Add stylish bits of flair.
Timeless tweed and wintery wool
Warms, even on the rack.
While breezy textiles quake each time
The entrance door blows back.
Hangers chime with sheer delight
As scissors snip and tear
At swatches for next season’s trends:
What everyone will wear.
Cleaning reels halt to
Black suits, all tailored, tamed, and pressed.
Plastic casings shelter each
Red-carpet worthy dress.
Silk and satin sashes loosely
Slung on slabs and bars
Charm the window wanderers
Into the craft bazaar.
