Fashion’s Night Out to be featured in a CBS primetime special

Last year, Vogue, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), and NYC & Company banded together to bring us the very first Fashion’s Night Out on September 11. Fashon’s Night Out (FNO) was created and developed to celebrate fashion and boost the retail sector during the economic downturn. Although no one was terribly sure how the event would be received, it was proclaimed a resounding success the next day. There were so many activities going on in New York City that one just couldn’t make it to all of them, and believe me, I tried!

This year, FNO is back and most likely will be bigger than ever. The event is scheduled for September 10, 2010, and CBS will be on hand to record not only the event but what goes on behind the scenes from the designers to the sales staff who rely on fashion for their economic survival.

“While New York City is the epicenter of this event,” says CBS executive producer Susan Zirinsky, “cities all over the world took the baton last year and ran with it, and 2010 promises to be even bigger. The message is clear: Responsible spending can breathe new life into the economy, and that means jobs. Fashion’s Night Out is a self-styled stimulus package by the fashion industry that has ignited a global movement.”
