Non-profit organization Manufacture New York is a fashion incubator that seeks to help provide indy fashion designers with the resources and skills to design and create their products.  Once established, the headquarters will include everything an up and coming designer might need including: studios and computer labs (featuring the most up to date design and production software), and an area where designers can experiment with environmentally friendly fabric dyes, finishes and textile applications.

As director of Manufacture New York, Ladies Lotto member Bob Bland coordinates the behind-the-scenes development of the factory, facilitating a vibrant community of independent designers, instructors + production specialists, and educating the public through speaking, writing and teaching engagements.
