I happened to catch Schmatta: Rags to Riches to Rags on Wednesday morning during Maddy's first bottle. I had a pretty limited knowledge of the history of the Garment District, but this doc filled in all the holes - the origins, the decades of success and the recent plummet of the industry in the U.S.
A complete coincidence was last night's America's Next Top Model (yes, I'm a fan), which used the photo challenge to focus on the horrible effects (sarcasm) of knockoffs on the fashion industry.
Kind of an odd juxtaposition these two shows... especially when they bookend the day.
