Before London, Paris, Milan and Tokyo, the Big Apple kick-started 2022’s series of fashion weeks — with Brooklyn’s Bush Terminal at the center.
After attending a nonprofit fashion show in Manhattan, the city’s mayor, Eric Adams, announced the first anchor tenant at Sunset Park’s fashion- and film-centric Made in New York Campus: sustainable fashion and design school Slow Factory.
The institution will be the first to call the hub home after the media production facility’s ongoing restoration, and is expected to facilitate the creation of 460 fashion jobs onsite, train 500 people and grow existing jobs in related businesses — bringing in an estimated $57 million in direct economic output to New York City.
