seventh avenue

Fashion District artery

Seventh Avenue is a major north-south thoroughfare in Manhattan, running through the heart of the Garment District.

By metonymy, it refers to the American fashion industry, particularly clothing manufacturing and design: Seventh Avenue sets the trends for the coming season.

The term parallels how Wall Street represents finance or Madison Avenue represents advertising.
