Planning on being at Bergdorf Goodman for Fashion’s Night Out this year? Here is another reason to consider it – famed fine jewelry designer Sydney Evan has created a limited-edition bracelet in celebration of Fashion’s Night Out. The New York themed bracelet takes a modern approach to the classic “I heart NY” slogan. Made in 14k yellow or rose gold with diamonds, the bracelet will retail for $575 exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman.
If you’re a fashionista with an American Express card, you are in luck this year. AmEx has put together some really cool things to be involved in, and one is the special showing of Fashion’s Night Out: The Show with a special panel discussion featuring Vogue’s European Editor at Large Hamish Bowles, Tory Burch, Alexander Wang, and Jenna Lyons. Tickets may be purchased at LincolnCenter.org. Read the rest of this entry »
Let the festivities begin for this year’s Fashion’s Night Out!
This year, Fashion’s Night Out is staging the largest ever public fashion show in New York City history! On September 7th, 200 of the industry’s top models will storm Lincoln Center and present the show of a lifetime. The show, produced by Vogue in conjunction with SPEC Entertainment, will highlight key trends of the Fall 2010 season (as identified by the magazine), will feature merchandise intended for fall delivery, and inspire shoppers as they prepare their wish lists for the main Fashion’s Night Out event on Friday, September 10th. Nearly 1,500 guests are expected to be in attendance and tickets will be available through the Lincoln Center box office later this summer, with a portion of the proceeds benefitting The New York City AIDS Fund.
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.”
