The cast-mates from Glee have lent their musical talents for a Fashion’s Night Out promotion.  FNO’s is the annual global shopping event in September.  This video features the usual suspects, Lea Michele in Balmain, Dianna Agron, Jane Lynch and the rest of the gang.  We are treated to their rendition of David Bowie’s “Fashion.”  They are stylish and effortless as they sing and strut down the runway.

Nicholas K kicked-off the Spring 2011 season, and had the distinction of being the first show inside Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week’s new home at Lincoln Center.  Flat-screen monitors displayed the shows’ dates and times.

Mercedes-Benz has partnered with IMG to bring us fashion week here in New York.  They have a big presence under the Tents within the lobby.

Fashion’s Night Out was well represented with its own booth under the Tents during the first two days of fashion week.  T-shirts were available for sale for the big event.

DHL is also a sponsor under the Tents, and they have a very regal display in the lobby.

Maybelline has also partnered with Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, and they hand out free make up daily to guests.  Here we have Kathleen the space manager.

Fashion’s Night Out 2010 was even more fun filled and exciting than last year.  The crowds were bigger, the lines were longer and the patrons were happier.  Bergdorf Goodman was my first stop and I was met by a line that was three rows deep.  I decided to stick around because I was already sold on the canine runway.  On the judging panel was fashion designer Monique Lhuillier and handbag designer Tinsley Mortimer.  Celebrity stylist Robert Verdi hosted the event. 

I did not get to see the entire canine runway unfold because I had to make press check-in at the I Heart Ronson event downtown.  The designer made her appearance with Gossip Girl’s Michelle Tractenberg.  The music was rocking upon entering the event, and I noticed that Ronson’s sister, Samantha, was the D.J.  It was a lovely cupcake and tea social, and a sweet way to end a long day at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

Models, designers, editors and fashionista’s came out this evening to support Fashion’s Night Out’s fashion show.  The event showcased over 150 models in Fall 2010 looks from many designers, and these pieces are in stores now.  Some of the biggest names in the modeling industry graced the seemingly intricate catwalk.  The show was streamed live for all to see and to enjoy the awe of one of the largest fashion shows ever.  Andre Leon Talley was one of our hosts for the evening, and he was a delight.  It was a sight to see the models rock the runway with such poise and precision, all 150 of them.  This event started as the brainchild of Anna Wintour and Vogue last year, and has grown exponentially in just one year.  The making of FNO will be aired on CBS on September 14th, and it is sure to include the evening’s fashion show, as well as the worldwide shopping extravaganza on Friday, September 10th.  Don’t forget that these events help to support a worthy cause;  a portion of the proceeds goes to the New York City AIDS Fund.  We can hardly wait until Friday for Fashion’s Night Out’s second night out.  Happy shopping!!!

The models came out in full force in support of Fashion’s Night Out Spring 2010 PSA.  This worldwide event is held annually to support the fashion and retail industries; it takes place on September 10th.  A televised special on the shopping event on steroids will be aired on CBS on September 15th.  Last year FNO was among the most exciting events during fashion week.  Fortunately, it is shaping up to be even grander this year.  The evening is also about shopping for a cause, forty-percent of the proceeds from the Fashion’s Night Out T-Shirts will go to the New York City AIDS Fund.  Some of the biggest names within the modeling industry appear in the public service announcement, Karlie Kloss, Doutzen Kroes, Liya Kebede, Karolina Kurkova, Lara Stone, Miranda Kerr, Chanel Iman, Lily Donaldson and Sasha Pivovarova to name a few.  Let these ladies be your tour guide as they travel throughout New York City.

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.
