In New York City stores will remain open until 11 p.m., celebrities and designers will be on hand offering style tips, food and drinks will be served, and musical performances will take place. Unlike Fashion Week, there are no invitations and no need to RSVP for Fashions Night Out. All you need to do is show up, shop, and have a good time.
In addition to promoting consumerism and giving a boost to the fashion industry, the night is also an opportunity to give back. You can donate new and gently used clothing at specific locations. Your items will be given to the NYC Aids Fund. You can also shop for a worthy cause. 40 percent of the proceeds from the sales of the specially commissioned Fashion's Night Out T-shirt will benefit the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. Talk about guilt free shopping!
Here are a few of the events I'd go to if I could be in two places at once and could move at the speed of light (and if I didn't have to work. I'll be working the night shift at nymag.com making sure the best pictures from Fashions Night Out and Fashion Week are up on the web. Be sure to check out nymag.com/fashion for the latest fashion week pictures- can't have my sleepless nights and hard work be for nothing):
