Fashion's Night Out - A Smorgasbord of Events in NYC and Beyond

Filed under: Events, Celebrity Shopping, Charity

Fashion's Night Out is coming right up -- it's this Friday, September 10. After its overwhelming success last year, this worldwide fashion fete is even bigger and brighter, and taking place in over 100 cities in America alone. This event does so much more than celebrate fashion. It helped to ease the stress the industry felt during the economic crisis and also benefits the New York City AIDS Fund with the sale of t-shirts and other FNO swag. Models, celebrities, industry-greats and die-hard fashionistas will all be coming together this Friday night to sip free champagne and cocktails, shop till late and dance their cares away -- all in the name of fashion.

For a full list of the events taking place around the world (and perhaps in your town?), visit fashionsnightout.com. As for us, we've had a host of enticing invitations cross our desk. Here is a roundup of some of the most extraordinary, open-to-the-public events you won't want to miss this Friday night:
