As that special time of year approaches - yes we are nearly at the beginning of another Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week, and just before we start to spot the clusters of elegant waif like specimens sprinting around the city in order to make their shows and parties - this year there's some actual pre event shopping involved! Genius! For one night only in NY as well as other destinations around the globe, celebrities, designers and models will be on hand to guide you in your purchasing predicaments at different locations around town. You can catch up with Diane Von Furstenberg on the High Line and around the Meatpacking district. Phillip Lim will be selling his 5 favorite pieces from his line over the past 5 years down on Mercer Street, whilst Rachel Roy celebrates the launch of her new Rachel Rachel Roy line at Macy's Herald Square complete with a street party hosted by Estelle. See the likes of Maria Sharapova at Cole Haan Madison Ave, Ivanka Trump on Madison with Blake Lively from The Gossip Girl at Ralph Lauren's Bleeker Street store.Whilst all this self promoting madness takes place there is actually a philanthropic raison d'etre - the Shop for Good message is encouraging a clothing drive for new and gently used clothing from Sept 10-12th at participating retailers and at pop up store locations on the 12th only. A good enough reason for us all to throw out the old and invest in the new...if ever we needed a reason! Visit www.fashionsnightout.com.
