fountains and fashions and chairs, oh my!

FNO is very nearly upon us.  parties and shopping and limited edition treats galore.  i feel like my feet already ache from the innappropriate but super hot shoes i'm bound to wear.  celebrities and style lovers alike will be all over the place and loving it.  to kick it all off this year - and as a teaser for Fashion Week,  Fashion's Night Out the Show was held outside Lincoln Center last night.  the fashion gods smiled down upon the city and the weather was perfect.

the set up was kind of amazing looking and very non-exclusive.  not much "front row" BS, as almost every spot had a great view.  the runway formed concentric circles around the fountain in the Plaza, lined by rows of chairs only two rows deep.  the models entered from a double decker FNO bus (fun little theatric) and made their way up stairs and onto the plaza, wearing a Fashion's Night Out T-shirt paired with a designer skirt and shoes.   super cute.  there were then fast paced segments, showcasing fall 2010's trends - like "Fifties Flair", Vogue-styled "Tartan Twist," "Rock Chic," and "Jazz-Age Cool" looks.   the show closed out with a performance by Pharrell Williams, with models dancing around him and clambering back up and out on the FNO bus.

all a flurry of fashion-y fun to get people pumped to go out and play  (and SHOP!) on FNO!(for a full list of locations and events - check out their website)
