Thursday, September 6^th marks the global initiative to celebrate the best of fall fashion from around the world, and Philadelphia will be participating for the first time ever! Created three years ago by Vogue Magazine, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) and the city of New York, Fashion’s Night Out is an evening dedicated to fashion designers, models and local style-enthusiasts coming together around the world all for the name of fashion. Attendees get a sneak peak on the latest fall collections around their city, mingle and network with one another, and help support the local economy through fashion deals and steals they’ll receive in honor of this event!

Fashion’s Night Out will also help kickoff the upcoming weeklong fashion and style series called The Philadelphia Collection. Starting September 13^th until September 20^th, The Philadelphia Collection will feature over 75 fashion events from runway shows to designer trunk shows to sample sales at some of the city’s trendiest boutiques and stores.

The events begins at 6 p.m. on Thursday, September 6^th and will last until 11 p.m., so make sure you arrive early to get some of the special deals and freebies given to all FNO attendees! With over 20 stores participating in Center City and over 50 stores in the King of Prussia Mall, there’ll be plenty of options to visit for the style maven in all of us.
