“Invisible Seams,” a documentary filmed in Recent York City’s Garment District, is having a celebratory screening this Thursday. 

Rachel Comey’s SoHo team and store (situated at 95 Crosby Street) will host the screening, which kicks off at 6:30 p.m. with drinks and conversations. 

The 17-minute film directed by Brooklyn-based filmmaker Jia Li (also of docushort “Spicy Village” and HBO show “Take Out” with Lisa Ling) showcases the talent of veteran seamstresses and patternmakers within the Garment District. Difficult numerous misconceptions and issues in fashion that also exist behind “Made in Recent York” fashion, the documentary sheds light on the stories of eight Asian women business owners, like Yaqi Sun of Atelier YQS and Nay Huang of One to 13 Studio, amongst others — who make up a vibrant garment workforce. 

Rachel Comey will likely be joined by director Jia Li, Inni Choi and Ai Qin Shi of Rachel Comey’s team, and Jodie Chan, and the film’s executive producer.

Chan said the night will likely be a likelihood to “have a good time everyone,” and moreover, to spotlight the problems at hand. In a past interview with WWD, she emphasized: “This can be a human interest story, not an Asian story…In fact, I feel that is only a small a part of the industry, and there’s so many other people — Latina patternmakers, Indian embroiderers — whose stories should proceed to be shared. On this moment, we felt it was very necessary to place this specific story together to have a good time these women who’ve done a lot for the industry. They deserve this moment.”

Together with select screenings, the film has also been entered into film festivals, including the Recent York Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and SCAD Savannah Film Festival (of which it is a component of the short documentary lineup). It is usually available on Vimeo.
