Fashionistas swarmed New York City last night to celebrate the fashion industry’s biggest party. Fashion’s Night Out 2012 was held in hundreds of cities worldwide, but there’s no place like New York. Fashion’s Night Out is timed to coincide with the opening of New York Fashion Week and New York City, arguably the most fashionable city in the world on any day of the year, turned it out last night. Models, photographers, editors, celebrities, the fashionable and the fashionably curious thronged the streets and partied in the stores, many of which had special events, food, drinks and extended hours. And everywhere, there was shopping going on, which, after all, is the point of Fashion’s Night Out.

In case you were unable to celebrate the fashion – and the passion that is New York City during Fashion Week and every day, here’s a taste of the city’s biggest block party. From Midtown …

4 Comments on Views from Fashion’s Night Out 2012, Part 2

  1. Anna Wintour, the one person I so wish to meet {but not until back to my real weight} Yes Devil wears Prada was a favorite book & adored Meryl in the movie 🙂

  2. You’re so funny. I do not presume to speak for the divine and brilliant Ms Wintour, but I think she’d be happy to meet you any day, any weight. She’s charming and, yes, she’s tiny. (She was at QVC’s FNO last year.)
