Fashion's Night Out - Get Ready to Rumble

Fashion's Night Out is on September 19, 2009.  Vogue, CFDA, and New York & Company have come together and organized the New York City event. If you haven't heard of the event, it's a one night global initiative to get people out of the house and spend, spend, spend. September 10, is also the first day of Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week. There will be a lot of exhausted and delirious fashion people in the streets that night.

As you can imagine, almost every store has an event going on. Here's my list of stores that I think would be fun to visit.

Macy's Herald Square is having a boatload of events- Michael Kors and Debra Messing Will be making an appearance to promote Micheal's newest fragrance, Very Hollywood. Tommy Hilfiger is hosting a performance of the Michael Freo Jazz Trio. You can meet designer Rachel Roy and Jewelry.com is debuting a collection inspired by the iconic images of New York City; The Brooklyn Bridge, Grand Central and more.

Barneys New York (Mad & 61S t) has the mayor, Manolo Blahnik, Brian Reyes, Thom Browne and other celebs making appearances. Yes there will be drinks and nibbles.
