Naomi Campbell and Dolce & Gabbana have collaborated on a collection of 14 T-shirts for charity.  Each tee has an image of the supermodel that was captured by some of the most acclaimed fashion photographers, like David La Chapelle, Patrick Demarchelier, Steven Meisel and Paolo Roversi to name a few.  Fashion for Relief is Campbell’s charity, and it raise funds whenever an urgent need arises globally.  This organization mobilizes the fashion industry from within to help society at large.  You can get a signed tee from the supermodel at Fashion’s Night Out on September 10th at Dolce & Gabbana’s Madison Avenue store in New York City.  They will be sold for $200 each, but remember that the proceeds will go to a worthy cause.

Fashion’s Night Out has designed a new collection of T-shirts, it includes a tank top, long and short sleeved tees and a unisex hoodie.  You can get yours online or in many major department stores.  Forty-percent of the proceeds from the sales will go to the New York City AIDS Fund.  The tank is priced at $20, and the hoodie for $60.  Ladies, the tank would go perfectly with a great pair of jeans.  This event has gotten so huge that you will have no problem finding these pieces in stores.  Get into the spirit of the evening, and support a worthy cause.

Fashion’s Night Out is shaping up to be more extravagant than anyone originally anticipated.  It was recently announced that FNO will host the largest fashion show at Lincoln Center on September 7th.  The show will have over 200 of the fiercest models to walk the runway.  That means we will likely see the original supermodels walk alongside the models of the moment.  Will we see a model walk-off?  Think Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista walking amongst Raquel Zimmermann, Karlie Kloss, Daria Werbowy and Chanel Iman that’s worth the price of admission.  Well 1500 guests will be privy to this model showdown, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the New York City AIDS Fund.  All the trends for fall will be represented on stage, and we’ll get to see the hottest looks from some of our favorite designers.  You can get tickets at the Lincoln Center box office this summer.

Fashion’s Night Out is coming on September 10th, and there’s cause for celebration.  It was arguably the best part of New York Fashion Week last year, and I’m betting it will be the same this year.  Anna Wintour and Vogue were a major force behind the evening.  The event was created to support retailers worldwide, and besides, a late night of shopping and champagne provides much needed retail therapy.  The only difference this time around is our ability to get our hands on even more FNO merchandise.  Yes, Fashion’s Night Out has a collection of limited-edition T-shirts, tanks and hoodies with the printed logo.  Retailers interested in selling the merchandise should contact the FNO team at fnocollection@fashionsnightout.com, orders must be placed by April 30th.  We’re also looking forward to the CBS special on the making of Fashion’s Night Out on September 15th.  Who doesn’t love a good behind the scenes view on fashion?  So Fashion’s Night Out makes our Rollcall list this week because on this night retail fashion becomes a sorority/fraternity.

Fashion’s Night Out makes our Rollcall list this week because it included the average consumer in on a mostly industry event.  The shows were great; we were treated to a bevy of beautiful collections, but Fashion’s Night Out was undoubtly the most exciting part of New York Fashion Week Spring 2010.  It was so successful that CFDA President, Diane Von Furstenberg has plans to make it a regular part of Fashion Week.  The evening generated great buzz and excitement for the entire week.  It would not be surprising if that evening has created enough goodwill with the consumer that it could be recouped throughout the Holiday Season.  The consumer has a longer memory than they are often given credit for, and they are more loyal as well.  The fashion industry gave back to the community last Thursday evening, and it will be rewarded.

Rachel Roy- Fashion's Night Out

Beautiful, gracious and kind, these are the words I would use to describe fashion designer Rachel Roy.  She came out last night to lend her support to Fashion’s Night Out at Macy’s in Herald Square.  Ms. Roy’s new lower priced line, Rachel Rachel Roy was on display.  There were several models on a stage showcasing the new affordable line.  The designer was surrounded by customers and fans wanting to get a glimpse, or to take her photograph.  She was wearing a belted one shoulder print top and black leggings from her high-end Rachel Roy collection.  Rachel was very friendly and relaxed considering that the Rachel Roy collection is scheduled to show on Sunday; I’m looking forward to seeing it.

Michelle Ava Gardner- New York Fashion Week Spring 2010

Today marks the start of New York Fashion Week Spring 2010, and it was a major success.  The success is mainly because of Fashion’s Night Out; the star power was enormous.  I saw designers Michael Kors and Rachel Roy at Macy’s.  Debra Messing was also at Macy’s in Herald Square.  Many other celebrities came out this evening in support of the fashion industry.  Anna Wintour personally visited several stores including DVF, Dior, Sean Jean among several others.  Ms. Wintour was the force behind Fashion’s Night Out, and she proves once again that she is ‘Anna the Great’.  Other celebrities who made it out tonight were Hugh Jackman, Rihanna, Blake Lively, Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen, and many more.  The stores and streets were very busy, and the customers were really enjoying the festive atmosphere.  Congratulations to all involved; this will prove to be an unforgettable New York Fashion Week.

The excitement over New York Fashion Week is just about to percolate, and the buzz is nearing a fevered pitch over Fashion’s Night Out on September 10th.  Fashion’s Night Out is Anna Wintour’s baby, and she working her magic.  She’s even managed to conjure up this PSA spot featuring the who’s who of the New York fashion industry.  It includes Donna Karan, Vera Wang, Diane Von Furstenberg, Oscar de la Renta, Diddy, Isaac Mizrahi and Anna Wintour herself.  The PSA is about 30 seconds, and it is well worth watching.  Sarah Jessica Parker is also featured, as well as other prominent designers and models.  You’ll get a glimpse at the T-shirts that Ms. Wintour will be signing in Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan on September 10th.

Anna Sui’s line for Target has made our  Rollcall list this week.  It will be in stores on September 13th, but there will be a special pop-up shop on Fashion’s Night Out.  Fashion’s Night Out is on September 10th to coincide with the start of New York Fashion Week.  Anna Sui’s line is influenced by the CW drama Gossip Girl, and you can bet it will be a hit among tweens and teens returning to school.  The great thing about the line is that it has a separate collection of items for each young lady on the show, Serena, Blair, Jenny and Vanessa.  Click here for a look at the collection.
