Fashion’s Night Out Sparks Fashion Fever

Vogue collaborated with retailers all over the world in a “global initiative to promote retail, restore consumer confidence, and celebrate fashion”.

The Fashion’s Night Out initiative, tripled the number of parties taking place this year. Over 700 retailers hosted in-store parties to invite consumers in and celebrate the start of the week long celebration of all things fashion.

Last night, I found myself in pure fashion heaven as I walked down 5th avenue and fashion hopped from store to store. It was seriously like treat-or-treating for fashion goodies.

The Dior store on 57th street was a site of pure chaos as photogs, fans, and guest stretched their necks and bodies to get inside the store and get an in person glimpse of Charlize Theron. It was only appropriate that the blonde cause so much excitement this Fashion Week…I mean, she is only on the cover of Vogue Magazine.

I had the most fun at Versace. There I ran into Ciara, Jade from America’s next top model, and other beautiful people. I didn’t realized how thin Ciara has gotten until seeing her in person. The last time I saw her was about 2 years ago while working a VH1 red carpet. In my opinion she is looking her best these days. Much more classy and grown up in comparison to her more sporty look when she first hit the scene.

I am a huge fan of the Fashion’s Night Out initiative. I can definitely see this being an annual event. It invited the everyday person to take part in the fashion week festivities. Fashion is all about the consumer and I am happy to see that Vogue is encouraging retailers to refocus their attention to those that will keep their businesses afloat.

Take a look at PSA put together for the night.
