As part of NYC's plan to help stimulate the economy in the city and boost consumer confidence, the City of New York paired up with Vogue, NYC & Company and the Council of Fashion Designers of America to create Fashion's Night Out 2009 - A Global Celebration of Fashion.
The night falls on the first night of New York Fashion Week, which will bring several festivities, complimentary gifts and celebrity in-store appearances to stores across all 5 boroughs. In addition, over 700 stores and designer retailers will stay open late (until 10 or 11 PM). Thirteen other countries around the world, including the United Kingdon, Italy, Japan and Brazil are to take part in the incentive to create evening events in their respective fashion capitals.
This event is certainly not something to be missed - it is rare to see the designers unite with their city in such a public manner. But this sense of unification between designers, the city and its consumers is a rather exciting one, and I am ecstatic to see the way Fashion's Night Out unravels come the second week of September.
Tickets or invites are not needed to enjoy the festivities of the night.
