For the past 2 years the Council for Fashion Designers of America and American Vogue have been putting on an event the Thursday before the Spring Fashion Week starts up every September. In the short time it has been in operation, the events have grown from being held in just NYC now to all over the US and the world! Not only is this event free and open to the public, it is now one of the biggest revenue producing events in the US since it encourages people to get out, meet designers and shop hop all around whatever city you want!
This year, the events take place Sept. 8th. There are many local events for FNO for me to attend now that I am in a "big city" (aka Richmond). There will be a fashion show and store parties in Short Pump Town Center and also events in the chic boutique area of Richmond, Carytown.
To find events happening near you, go to: http://fashionsnightout.com/fno. Enter your zip code and see what pops up. You might be surprised how many retailers are participating in the event.
If you can't make it to any event, there will live video streaming from various events in NYC to shopbop.com
Last but not least, I am also really excited for the promotional video that FNO came out with last week that I posted below.
