Last night I went to the premiere of the HBO documentary Schmatta: from Rags to Riches to Rags, director Marc Levin's look at the sad state of New York's Garment District (no mo' money/no mo' jobs!). In the audience were Fashion Week founder Fern Mallis (who is in the film), Nancy Abraham, Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz, Donovan Leitch, Bruce Raynor, Nanette Lepore, Anna Sui (who designed a "Save the Garment District" tee shirt), Daphne Pinkerson, Stan Herman, Yeohlee Teng, MTV's Tony DiSanto and Liz Gateley, Sarah Howard, Bill Cunningham and IMG's Ivan Bart. I am officially obsessed with Sheila Nevins, who has the coolest hair and the coolest brain -- she is responsible for every amazing documentary on HBO (and there are many). "When I told my grandmother I didn't have a date for the prom," Nevins told the crowd, "she said, 'Put on a schmatta and go alone!'" You can help save the dying district. On October 21, there will be a demonstration at the Button and Needle Statue on 39th Street and 7th Avenue. Visit savethegarmentcenter.com for more info.
