Free Fashion Information at Your Service!

So, you're launching a fashion business or you're in fashion school and want to visit the fashion district to buy trims, fabrics, notions for your final school project Whatever your needs, the fashion center kiosk in New York City is a great place to start. You can go inside the kiosk and get a print out of the specific information that you need. For example, do you need a list of apparel manufacturers that only do small orders, or wholesale button and trimming companies? You can get this and more for FREE just by stopping in and asking or you can send an email and they will respond back with the information that you requested.


The kiosk is located at the corner of 7th Ave. and 39th streets in NYC. It's landmark is the huge button and needle structure right on the corner. I've used the service many times. For the most part, the companies are easy to contact because, their name, address and phone numbers are listed on the print out that you are given. In some cases you may find that a few of the companies listed have moved and their new location is not registered with the fashion center. While looking for these companies, I've found that the security person at the lobby of the old listing was able to direct me to the company's new location. It's a small world!

Here is the contact details for the kiosk:
