Did anybody hear about this?

“Fashion’s Night Out is an unprecedented global initiative created to celebrate fashion, restore consumer confidence, and boost the industry’s economy. In the United States, the program is a collaboration between American Vogue, Council of Fashion Designers , NYC & Company, and the City of New York.

On September 10, 2009, more than 700 stores will stay open late to put the fun back in shopping, with designer appearances, live windows, celebrity guests, and other special events. In addition, two important New York charities — the September 11 Memorial and Museum and the NYC AIDS Fund — will benefit from the initiative via the sale of a charity T-shirt and acitywide clothing drive, respectively.

On the same night around the world, and led by twelve international Vogue editions (United Kingdom, Greece, Italy, Russia, France, Brazil, India, Spain, China, Germany, Japan, and Taiwan), each country will tailor its Fashion’s Night Out celebration to appeal to its city’s unique retail environment.
