You might have heard of Fashion’s Night Out – a global celebration of fashion this Thursday, September 10, 2009. In an initiative to promote retail, restore consumer confidence, and celebrate fashion, U.S. and international editions of Vogue are coordinating evening extravaganzas in their respective world fashion capitals. You can read an article on Anna Wintour’s feelings behind FNO here.
Basically, the brands + designers are planning special events + appearances at their stores to promote shopping and to kick off the first night of New York Fashion Week. And although it is focused in NYC, check out the website for events near you!
On a charitable note, there is a citywide Clothing Drive, encouraging New Yorkers and visitors to donate new and/or gently used clothing. The donations will be given to the NYC AIDS Fund, and distributed to approximately 17 AIDS-related charities throughout New York City’s five boroughs. If you are not in NY, consider donating to your local AIDS charity.
