September 10th,2009

was pretty much the best day ever! Not only did i start my internship at Allure Magazine,

but so was the start of Fashion Week and the day that every designer and fashion

student/or anyone who knew, was waiting for.

Now i am aware that many of you have no idea what this event meant,

so no worries, let me explain it to you.

Explain:

Fashion Night Out was on September 10th, on this day the main goal was

to bring back the economy by shopping and enjoying it. Some might say a way to celebrate Fashion and it's history. 

Vogue and CFDA (which is fancy for [Council of Fashion Designers of America]) got together to create the day.

The event:

Everywhere, they tired to do it global.

New York, United Kingdom, Greece, Italy, Russia, France

Brazil, India, Spain, China, Germany, Japan, and Taiwan

Quote:

"America’s fashion capital, New York City. Next only to finance, fashion is the second-largest sector of industry in New York City—the headquarters of more than 800 fashion companies employing 175,000 people and generating $10 billion in total wages. At City Hall’s May 20 press conference to announce Fashion’s Night Out, Vera Wang said, "To put it bluntly, if people don’t shop, people lose their jobs."

Video:

Hope that this made you understand, why that day was really special to me, and to be 100% honest what made me smile was to see people enjoying themselves while shopping.
