Great Ideas for Future, in Boston Globe, Connect to my Ideas

<p>The Massachusetts&nbsp;<strong>fashion clothing industry</strong>&nbsp;was a booming success in earlier 20th Century, up to the 1980s, due to Italian and Greek immigrants, and others from Europe, who came here, knowing how to sew. I believe we beat New York in&nbsp;<em>quality</em>&nbsp;production, without which the American Fashion Industry is failing. I use &ldquo;Fashion&rdquo; to separate<strong>&nbsp;better</strong>&nbsp;<strong>quality&nbsp;</strong>from cheap production. It&rsquo;s important to understand levels: Couture &mdash; Better &mdash; Cheap.</p> <p>In 1970 I set up&nbsp;<strong>Shirley Willett, Inc, a Design &amp; Manufacturing Factory of high fashion coats, jackets, dresses, yet affordable for the Middle Class,</strong>&nbsp;because of my&nbsp;<strong>Innovative pattern and production engineering systems.&nbsp;</strong>It was on the second floor of<strong>&nbsp;77 No. Washington St.,</strong>&nbsp;Boston MA. It was the only clothing factory in the building at that time. The rest were offices and an architectural firm on the top floor, whom I did business with. Today it is all offices, many empty. I was too early for today&rsquo;s fashion industry. I hope Rachel Slade&rsquo;s ideas are not too late for some industries. Hopefully, the Globe&rsquo;s ideas could turn it around.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/illumination-curated/great-ideas-for-future-in-boston-globe-connect-to-my-ideas-fd95a440b925"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
