Are the NYFW runways a sign New York's fashion economy is rebounding?

Call it a comeback, or at least New York’s fashion industry is hoping so. According to NYCEDC, the fashion industry employs 4.6 percent of the city’s private sector workforce. New York City has long been synonymous with fashion, from the history of the garment district to New York Fashion Week. With a second season of in-person Fashion Week back in effect, there is hope that this is a sign that New York’s fashion economy is recovering.
