One night a year New York City throws the biggest, most epic block party solely dedicated to fashion. Grab your girls on September 10th and hit the city streets for the annual: Fashion Night Out! Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island will fill your senses with the sights and sounds of live DJ’s, cocktails, make-overs, fashion shows, designer appearances, models, new product launches, and most importantly SHOPPING for the up coming Fall season. The night will go as late as 11pm (how late the shops will stay open) and will benefit, not only the fashion industry but the New York City AIDS Fund. With a purchase of the edgy short or long sleeved t-shirts embedded with the FNO logo and abstracted cityscape print, forty percent of proceeds raised will help thousands of people in the community. No doubt, coming together for a good cause never goes out of style. It's awesome to see big designer stores working together to celebrate and give back to the city. Especially when 3.1 Philip Lim has performances by My Gold Mask, Ann Taylor hosting a “See Now, Wear Now” fashion show, Maybelline providing free make-overs, Adidas hosting a yoga class for the first forty people with yoga ambassador Elena Brower, and Fossil having Christine Schmidt from Yellow Owl Workshop create custom vintage jewelry, who would miss out? Don't be scared if you can't get the first ticket out to New York, other cities are also participating; Los Angeles, Chicago, and Dallas. These are a few places opening up their streets for the public to get out, shop, party, have fun and benefiting charity in one spectacular Fashion Night Out.
