The night of Kristallnacht and the rising tensions between our community forced our family to flee to the french border city of Natzwiller. Our family was strong in business as we were successful in revolution and our small workshop grew into a family empire as generations of Schneider lived to keep our proud business open through the wars and the depression.

The garments had powerful class implications in the workplace and on the street. “It was bad enough being tired all the time and dirty most of the time, but worst of all the first week was having to go to work in slacks – down Fourth Street where people who knew us acted as if they didn’t, or down Third Street where people who didn’t know us whistled as if

In New York City, the Triangle Shirtwaist Company employed mostly women to make shirts. The working conditions in this factory were much the same as other factories at this time, that is to say, unsafe. The women had only one exit which became crucially important when in 1911 a fire started and there was only that exit, an elevator, which became completely overwhelmed, and an ill-prepared fire escape that became strained to the point that it broke. In the end, 145 people lay dead, all but 23 of whom were women, and half were teenagers. This tragedy put a spotlight of attention on the plight of women workers and led to the adoption of labor laws that not only imposed strict regulations on factory owners, but actually enforced them.

“allmylifeforsale.com” is a website created by John D. Freyer, who decided to sell everything in his apartment on ebay. As part of his project, to appeal to as many viewers as possible and increase the chances for his item to sell, Freyer decided to attach personal stories and anecdotes to each item he listed, relying on only subjective descriptions. One of the many items listed on “allmylifeforsale.com” was a purple Benetton mens sweater titled as: “My Girlfriends` Favorite Sweater”. In the description of the sweater, John tells the story of how he came to work at a Bennetton store as a teenager and was required to wear the brand’s clothes while working. However, because he could not afford the expensive clothes, he was allowed to wear an item off the rack during his work hours and then place it back onto the rack at the end of his shift.

Denim was once only thought of as a functional item of clothing belonging in the wardrobe of cowboys and construction workers, but label giant Calvin Klein set the fashion world on its ear when they featured a teenage Brooke Shields in an advertisement boasting that nothing came between her and her ‘Calvins’ (Barney & Hesterly, 2015, PC1-11). With this the designer jean movement began in 1970 and reached its pinnacle in 1981 “when sales jumped to record $6 billion and 520 million pairs” (Barney & Hesterly, 2015, PC1-12). Since this time, a myriad of premium denim lines have emerged, the largest of them being “Buckle, Guess, Joe’s [Jeans], Levi’s, Liz Claiborne, People’s Liberation, True Religion, and VF Corp” (Barney & Hesterly, 2012, PC1-39)

From about 1871-1914, the French mob of Les Apaches ruled the streets of Paris. The origin of their name is widely contested, but it is said that upon seeing the depths of violence they were capable of, a bystander compared them to the visciousness of the Native American Apaches. The leader of Les Apaches at this time, known as Terreur, liked the name so much he chose to use it permanently.

What is unusual about this particular gang is the influence they had on the dress of their era.

New York’s first role in the garment industry traces back to the manufacturing of clothes for Southern slaves. The European immigrants who arrived in the early 1800s made a significant impact in the clothing industry because of their cheap labor and their need to manufacture garments that would preserve their cultural background in the New World. New and original creations were made as these were adapted to European styles, which influenced fashion trends around the world (Stefanyshyn). Although unequal distribution of income has characterized the manufacturing industry since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the prestigious fashion industry in New York City today deals with additional issues. The New York Fashion Week is an event that best demonstrates the abuses and unregulated measures of this industry, especially towards young women.
