Fashion's Night Out

September 8th, is Fashion's Night Out. Bit of a PR fabrication from the fashion houses, but could be good fun anyway. The event was created by US Vogue, and has been moved across the pond to benefit Kids Company, one of the coolest charities in the UK.

I'm looking forward to the Manolo Blahnik pop-up store at Liberty, my favourite place on earth. Yasmin Le Bon is said to do the honors.



Alice Dellal, the badass socialite, is playing a two-hour set at the Louis Vuitton flagship store, to be decorated with origami accessories created by artist Fiona Lee. Rupert Sanderson is having cha cha lessons, and Giorgio Armani is hosting a cocktail party (yawn).


Oh, and they'll be karaoke at Mullbery. Erdem, Christopher Kane and Martin Grant will be customise the Fashion’s Night Out charity T-shirts and tote bags at Harvey Nick's. And Artic Monkeys are playing a gig at Urban Outfitters.



So it's for charity and you can shop and not feel guilty for once. Free booze an added bonus, of course.
