Modacycle Goes Inside Mood Fabrics

Lots about Project Runway has changed since the premiere in 2004.  One constant has been the fabric shopping destination - Mood Fabrics.  




Even when the show moved to Los Angeles, the designers visited the LA store or the "Mood Annex."  


Modacycle recently visited Mood and interviewed store manager, Eric Sauma (above.)


A highlight:  In terms of selection and volume, Mood Fabrics claims to hold about 80% of the fabrics available in the Garment District, and says if they don't have what you're looking for, they are happy to direct you to the other 20% in smaller shops around the neighborhood...The turnover rate of their stock is amazing and you can come in two weeks after your last visit to find literally hundreds of new patterns and textiles.
