Runways will be walked. Champagne sipped. Swag scored. Credit cards swiped. You won’t want to miss a minute. Follow all the FNO action on Twitter at @fdluxe, #fnodallas.
The third annual Fashion’s Night Out on Thursday, Sept. 8 unites Dallas with fashion capitals around the world in what’s become the largest, most-Twittered shopping party of the year.
Launched in 2009 by Vogue, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, retailer NYC & Co. and the city of New York, FNO was conceived as an effort to resuscitate the recession-era shopping environment. The economy hasn’t moved much, but FNO has expanded by leaps and bounds. This year’s event includes 250 cities across the country, some 200 e-tailers (a first) and nearly 1,000 stores in New York alone.
Chanel , Hadleigh’s, Kiehl’s , Scoop, Ralph Lauren , Tory Burch and new-store-in-town Stella McCartney are among the places to sip, dance and shop in Highland Park Village . Christian Louboutin’s exclusive FNO shoe (below) will be up for grabs, or get wink-ready with lashes at the eyelash bar. Strike a pose for an FNO flipbook at Diane von Furstenberg, and pick up an exclusive denim-inspired FNO nail polish at Chanel. Strimple-produced runway shows take place at 7 and 9 p.m. just outside Marquee Grill & Bar.
