Fashion's Night Out



Tonight is the second annual Fashion's Night Out, a fashionista's dream of shopping, celebrity spotting, music entertainment, free goodies and so much fun! FNO is an event put on annually, every September 10th by the CFDA and Vogue. Over 200 stores are participating in New York City and its five boroughs alone, while the event has been expanded to countries abroad such as: Australia, Brazil, China, London, Paris, Berlin, Greece, India, Milan, Portugal, Russia, Spain, South Korea, Taiwan and Turkey. FNO began in 2009 as a positive initiative to pull consumers out for the ultimate shopping experience one day a year during the tough economic times and was an instant success. Last year, Alexander Wang designed a collection of printed tees for the New York stores to sell, in which part of the procedes went to the September 11th Charity Fund. This year FNO continues to stand for its good notions, selling t-shirts to raise money for The NYC AIDS Fund in the NY Community Trust. New York City's streets turn into a fashion runway with consumers walking the biggest fashion event of the year. Meet designers, celebrities, participate in fashion-related activities (including this year's "design your own friendship bracelet with Rogan" at Barney's), while munching on snacks provided in many stores along the way. Fashion's Night Out is a global tradition uniting fashion and good deed.
