FASHION'S NIGHT OUT

Last night I attended a few "Fashion's Night Out" soirées. 

When the invitations first started coming in, I thought, 

"What is this Fashion's Night Out, and why are all the 

designers having an event on the same evening?" I quickly 

realized the point was to celebrate the start of fashion week and, 

more importantly, to drive sales. Many designers opened pop-up stores, 

offered discounts, gave an item free with purchase, had celebrity 

attendees, and kept the bubbly flowing, all to bring people in.

I spent most of the evening at Edmundo Castillo. The invite said 

look for the Winnebago located on Bond and Bowery. 

At first I was at the wrong party. Who knew there would be 

two Winnies on Bond?!!! This one was making tacos. Ha!

I quickly realized I wasn't in the right place and kept walking. 

I found the right Winnebago (it actually was a location van), 

and the party was inside. 

I'm not sure if overall designers profited financially from the evening. 

There seemed to be a lot of drinking/socializing and little buying. 

But if the goal was to have fashionable people out and about, 

then mission accomplished! Stylelistas were everywhere!

These were my souvenirs from the evening. 

I have to figure out how to tie them to optimize their beauty.

Edmundo autographed them for me.
