Fashion's Night Out: Your Guide to Free Booze, Swag, and the Best Local Events
 |
Four years ago almost to the day, something big happened in fashion: Fashion's Night Out. A global initiative sponsored by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) and Vogue magazine, it's a one-night-only event that's meant to encourage consumers to shop 'til they drop while supporting the fashion industry during the tough economic climate.
Now models, editors, designers, and the fashion conscious pop up in 18 countries around the world (with more than 4,500 events) for boozin', cruisin', and yes, a little shopping. You'll find limited edition products, celebrity appearances, live performances, fashion shows, and plenty of light bites and cocktail hours. But only for three hours tomorrow. We've rounded up the best FNO events happening from Coral Gables to Aventura. Set your stop watches.
