We go inside the history of the garment industry in Rochester as we preview the new documentary, Tailor Made.
The film will air Monday night on WXXI-TV, but first, we sit down with some of the people who help tell the story in the film. From the ways that the garment industry pioneered mass production, to the impact of immigration, to the high end of fashion with Hickey Freeman, we get an education in the clothing business. In studio:
- John Diacatos, vice president of manufacturing for Hickey Freeman
- Christine Ridarsky, Rochester city historian
- Arnie Roberti, president of operations for Adrian Jules
