Fashion’s Night Out staging a Runway Show in UWS!

The largest Public Fashion Show in NYC History Coming to the Upper West Side!!!

Hey there Ladies and fashion lovers! Wow, do we have some exciting news for you! You better get your heels and make-up on because the models are coming to our neighborhood. Fashion’s Night Out, the shopping love-fest that the Vogue editor, Anna Wintour, created last year, will kick off the fall fashion week on September 10! But three days earlier, a special catwalk (and we actually mean a walkoff!) will take place right in the heart of Lincoln Center (for us that’s the best part of course!). So, on September 7, more than 200 models are expected to walk a runway in Josie Roberson Plaza in front of the Metropolitan Opera. You must agree that whether you like fashion or not, that’s going to be a spectacular event with all of the plaza’s gorgeous lights, the fountain and the whole setting… The models will be wearing designers’ fall lines, some of which will go on sale during Fashion’s Night Out on September 10.

In a press release, Anna Wintour said: “We felt it is important for people to see what wonderful fashion will be in stores at that moment” (…) “This show will focus on the key trends we’ve identified for Fall so that shoppers will have plenty of inspiration to join the fun during Fashion’s Night Out.”

Lincoln Center’s press release says they will sell about 1,500 tickets to the event this summer. Part of the proceeds will go to the New York AIDS Fund. So far however, we don’t know anything about the prices for the event but we’ll update you as soon as some information is released. We can expect them to be pretty high, let’s not be too naivee here… Good news for all of us broke folks – the show will be recorded by CBS so we we’ll be able to get our scoop on TV.
