New York City along with CFDA and Mayor Bloomberg host the third annual Fashions Night Out Thursday, September 8th from 6-11 pm.
FNO was created by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour to inspire people to spend money again in hopes of helping kick start the economy. The earnings from sales go to different charities. New York City is not the only city hosting FNO. It is being hosted in 27 cities in the United States as well as 15 different countries. Some retailers are opening up their online stores as part of the event.
The event starts off New York's Fashion Week. While Fashions Night Out is open to the public, there's a chance you could run into models, designers, fashion editors and celebrities.
