You got it: you’d better be out there on September 8th, sipping a martini with friends, listening to live music and discovering the latest women and men’s fashion trends and shopping.
A range of FNO designed items celebrating the event such as the FNO tee-shirts, totes and Cole Haan flats are currently for sale on the Fashion’s Night Out official website ( see Url below ) and in various spots. In Miami, the event is taking over most shopping areas, especially major local shopping destinations such as Aventura Mall, Bal Harbour Shops and The Village of Merrick Park. Aventura Mall will feature in-store events and a main party location in the Center Court, near Macy’s, showcasing live music and a fashion exhibit.

The cast of the internationally acclaimed TV series “Glee” was chosen to perform the song “Fashion” by David Bowie for the Fashion’s Night Out public announcement for Vogue magazine ( watch above video ).
An interesting piece of information needs to be added to the description of these fashion and shopping celebrations : most events are organized in partnership with cultural organizations and charities and a portion of each retailer’s proceeds will benefit the selected organization.
A smart way to promote philanthropy to the hot crowd of fashion trend-setters and followers.
