Fashion's Night Out will be moved from September 9 to Friday, September 10! I was so excited to read that on Women's Wear Daily today. I didn't get the chance to go this year because of school and work but I would have loved to enjoy this experience with my favorite designers and celebrities. On Wednesday the change was announced by the organizers which are the Council of Fashion Designers of America, Vogue, NYC & Company and the city's marketing team.
The scheduled was moved a day up so it wouldn't interfere with the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah. By doing so , this would attract more tourists and consumers who would be willing to shop the butts off! Holding the event on a weekend evening will attract more traffic to the retail stores and create more business and awareness to the cause.
This year's Fashion's Night Out was held on Sept. 10 in New York City and so many people came out and participated which made it a very successful night. Hundreds of stores stayed open late for designer and celebrities appearances, musical performances, and book signings. For next year, retailers are going to be adding incentives to shop. There is also a fall 2010 fashion show that is being considered. I hope to be there next year. I felt so left out being a future fashion designers and not being able to attend such a memorable event. I can't wait to see what they will have in store next year! Having it on a weekend will definitely attract more out of towners!
