Yummmmmmmy.
Texxxxxxxtiles.
you would go absolutely nuts here.. the fabrics are magnificient.. and the suits and dresses are of course all hand made. One weird note... the fabric is stamped with a silver rub off ink when it is printed to prove that it is new. People cut the fabric, sew the clothes and wear it with the stamp still on it as long as they can to show off that it is new. So you have a strange silver 'made by...' stamp on many peoples clothes.

But If one of the smarter sleazy fashion folks states side got wind of that - they would make bank - marketing to the poor fools that feel obliged to where whatever is "new"...
There's a new business for you:
Market that idea with the textiles to 7th Ave....
And I'm betting you're right (funny that). I probably would go nuts, draping and wrapping and cutting and stitching all sorts wearable art from the lush goods available there...
