Fashion Night Out Clothing Drive New York City

In a global initiative to promote retail, restore consumer confidence, and celebrate fashion, U.S. and international editions of Vogue are coordinating evening extravaganzas in their respective world fashion capitals.

They've invited every fashion retailer across the five boroughs to encourage the fun of fashion again--flagships, tiny boutiques, massive department stores, young designers, mainstream chains, and niche luxury names alike--by keeping its doors open late on the evening of September 10 and to implement creative customer experiences welcoming all. Over 700 retailers and designers across New York City are confirmed participants in Fashion's Night Out. Most events will take place from 6 P.M. until 11 P.M.

On Fashion's Night Out, every participating location is open to anyone and everyone. Neither tickets nor invitations are required to join in the Fashion's Night Out festivities.

As part of Fashion's Night Out on September 10, a citywide Clothing Drive will take place, encouraging New Yorkers and visitors to donate new and/or gently used clothing. The donated clothing will be given to the NYC AIDS Fund, which is administered by the New York Community Trust. The collected clothing will then be distributed to approximately 17 AIDS-related charities throughout New York City's five boroughs.
