Fashion's Night Out 2011!

Fashion's Night Out is one of my favourite nights on the fashion calendar, which is why I'm so disappointed that I missed out! Yes, the flu kept me in bed, which meant I missed the festivities of Fashion's Night Out Sydney. However, I couldn't just let Fashion's Night Out pass without reporting on all the goss and glamour, both here and abroad!

Fashion's Night Out was originally created to revive the fashion world and to encourage consumerism, as well as putting the 'excitement' back into shopping. Since it began three years ago, it's amazing to see just how much the event has blossomed both in Australia and globally...only the work of Anna Wintour of course!

Sydney participated in their second Fashion's Night Out and this year was the first time the event was celebrated in the new Westfield Sydney. This meant shoppers experienced exclusive events by local designers and for the first time, major international designers! Over at the Calvin Klein store, the Spring/Summer collection was brought to life with yellow decor, CK signatory cocktails and an array of Australia's hottest celebrities including Kate Waterhouse and Luke Ricketson, the team from Bondi Rescue and Nacho Pop. Meanwhile, at Mulberry, the store was transformed into a magical forest! Elsewhere, Dider Cohen and Erin McNaught embraced summer at the Strand Acarde, Myer launched Lipsey and the David Jones designers mingled with customers. Shoppers were treated with exclusive one night discounts and offers and were able to purchase a Fashion's Night Out T-shirt designed by one of my personal favourite designers, Diane Von Furstenberg!

And as for New York? Let's just say I'm already planning for next year! Fashion's Night Out New York, kicked off New York Fashion Week and what an event it was! Fashion's elite were out in full force from Rachel Zoe at Bloomingdales, Leighton Meester at Tiffany and Co, Justin Bieber and Chace Crawford at Dolce and Gabbana, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio and Erin Heatherton at Victoria's Secret, Alexa Chung at Stella McCartney, Joe Jonas and the Glee Stars at Saks on Fifth Avenue, Coca Rocha at Topshop....Diane Von Furstenburg, Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta, Anna Wintour, Joe Zee, Tinsley Mortimer, The Kardashian Girls, Pauly D, Usher and that was just the start! I cannot wait till next year's event!
