Fashions Night Out!

For the third year the CFDA, Vogue, and NYC & Company joined together to bring the dreams of a shopaholic to reality. Last night September 8, 2011 Fashions Night Out enticed stars and everyday fashionistas to come out and do what they do best by shopping and sharing their love of style.

This event was brought about in 2009 as “a global initiative to promote retail, restore consumer confidence, and celebrate fashion. (nitrolicious,2011)” Not only was this an event where one could shop for them selves but they had the chance to give back by donating clothes at one of the five collection points that would benefit the NYC AIDS fund. During this event stores stayed open till 11pm and big name stars even participated in helping customers. Pharrell Williams rung up sales at Billionaire Boys Club, and Anna Wintour made a personal appearance at Macy’s.

Although this event started as a New York based event in less than two years the rest of the world has joined in. From far as Seattle, WA to Milan, Italy stores everywhere are now participating in FNO. The FNO staff every year make a product to sale where some of the proceeds will go to a specific charity. In 2009 it was the September 11 Memorial & Museum, 2010 was the New York City AIDS fund, and this year also to the NYC AIDS fund.

Last night FNO collection showed how much it has evolved from just t-shirts. The collection of course included the famous FNO printed t-shirt but this year they offered a new chic twist a multi colored shirt in the option of short sleeve of long sleeve, baseball fitted hats for the gentlemen, and the most adorable tote bags. All these items were available online for the people who couldn't make it out to go shopping.
