‘Behind the Seams’

I forgot to mention that at the CFDA Awards on Monday evening, a group of scantily clad men were outside the Library in an effort to publicize the opening of the movie ‘Garmento’ by Michele Maher that was shot right here on 7th avenue. (Actually, at first sight, I thought it was a group from PETA). They gave out postcards promoting the film that is slated to open at the Village East Cinemas ad 2nd Avenue and 12th Street (www.garmentomovie.com), saying : “Fashion is a glamourous industry of beautiful people, right? Garmento tells the other side of the story through a dark and comical look beneath the seams of NYC’s rag business.”
