Mark Your Calenders...

...for one of the most creative events to spark Spring Fashion Week in New York. On September 10, which is also the first night of Spring 2010 Fashion Week, stores and boutiques across the five boroughs of New York and around the world will stay open until 11 p.m. and attract customers with fashion celebrity appearances, fashion shows and other dope happenings. NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg has already started announcing plans for the citywide event, which has been given the name "Fashion’s Night Out". He will engage in a press conference this afternoon along with a slew of big wig New York designers and retail heavyweights arrayed behind him. Vogue, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and NYC & Company will be the sponsors, so you know it's bound to be a hit. 40% of the proceeds from a Fashion’s Night Out T-shirt (which will be available in August) will go to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum and donations of clothes - new and gently used - will go to HIV/AIDS charities. You can already expect participation from Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, Tory Burch, Phillip Lim, Coach, and many more.
