Fashion's Night Out on September 10th is shaping up to be biggest event in fashion.....ever! The participation is global but New York is at the heart of the action. Nearly 700 stores will offer special shopping incentives, charity incentives and extra shopping hours for the night. A special few will offer live shows, live music, parties, special appearances and much, much more.
After going over the list of stores and events at the Fashion's Night Out website, here are few events that will make you wish you can be in three places or more at once:
- Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue and Herni Bendel are all vying as the top draw of the evening with a list of designers and celebs all making special appearances. In some cases, certain designers will be making appearances in two or three of those locations.
- For the young and hip crowd, the place to be is Opening Ceremony. The block party/sidewalk shop event will feature the designers of Proenza Schouler, the designers of Rodarte, Alexander Wang, and Scott Sternberg of Boy/Band of Outsiders. The designers will sell special made goods from the trunks of styled out cars and vans.
- For Luxury Art Lovers, check out Krizia and Ralph Lauren. Krizia will have an exhibit of paintings by Peter Opheim. Ralph Lauren will host a special Art Auction at the Rhinelander Mansion. Funds raised will go to the New York Academy of Art
- Strike a pose and get your picture taken at Lord & Taylors and at Carolina Herrera. Get photographed by Patrick McMullan himself while getting style tips from Vogue editor Lauren Santo Domingo at Lord & Taylors (must RSVP). Carolina Herrera invites you to her boutique for "Come, Be Art" and be photographed by Larry Fink. Larry Fink will also debut his limited edition book "Night at The Met" at the store.
- Want to meet, shop and party with the designers? Check out 3.1 Philip Lim, Manolo Blanhik, Marchesa, Cynthia Rowely, Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, Diane Von Furstenberg, Donna Karan, Rebecca Taylor, Tory Burch, Oscar De La Renta and Roberto Cavalli. Mr. Cavalli will celebrate his Madison Avenue boutique's 10 Year Anniversary, you won't want to miss it.
- Love a great fashion show? Stop by BCBGMAXAZRIA on Fifth Ave. Check for the time of the show. Meet the designer Max Azria himself as he honors 10 women from the New York Police and Fire Widow and Children’s Benefit Fund.
- Love to party with models? Be sure to stop by Versace. You'll see I mean.
- If you need to shop and party till midnight, head over to Patricia Field. There's lots going on there.
There's more to come I'm sure, but be sure to check the list at Fashion's Night Out's webstie for updates and for changes. The only downside is that a lot of events will happen at the same time. As for myself, I don't want to miss out on all that fun so I'll be there in person with camera in one hand and credit card on the other. Who says you can't work and shop at the same time? September 10th can't come soon enough.
