Fashion’s Night Out Sets Dates For 2012
Organizers for Fashion’s Night Out have set the dates for the fourth annual edition of the global shopping party.
All 19 territories that have their own version of Vogue will observe Fashion’s Night Out this year, meaning there will be events in 19 countries spanning three weeks. Below, a breakdown of which nations will join the party, and when:
- Sept. 6: Great Britain, the United States, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Russia, Mexico, Australia, and Korea
- Sept. 7: China, India, Germany, and Russia
- Sept. 8: Taiwan and Japan
- Sept. 10 and 12: Brazil
- Sept. 13: Portugal, Italy, Turkey, The Netherlands, and Mexico
- Sept. 18: Italy
- Sept. 20 and 25: Greece
In past years, Fashion’s Night Out in the US has been celebrated in more than one city at a time, and this year some other countries will follow suit. Italy, Germany, Russia, Mexico, Brazil, and Greece will all host parties in two or three style-obsessed cities — meaning there will be that many more opportunities to see fashion editors and industry folk doing things like this.
Christian Louboutin Steps Into Beauty
Christian Louboutin‘s first major brand expansion is a luxury beauty line set for worldwide release in late 2013.
The new venture, Christian Louboutin Beauté, is still in its infancy, and Louboutin has been reticent about which product categories he plans to explore. He will work with New York-based beauty licensee Batallure to bring the collection of products — billed as a high-end, global brand — to market. In the past, Batallure has produced fragrances for Abercrombie & Fitch and Express, among other clients.
Louboutin told WWD that his beauty assortment “has to mirror the quality of the shoes” he’s been making for the past 20 years.
“Beauty products also have to do with empowering women,” he said. “That’s very much the job of the shoes I’m designing.”
Can’t wait to see all the products 😉

Photographer: Kacper Kasprzyk
Here’s a look at the women’s lookbook! How amazing does it look? I always love everything BUT I have to admit I feel a little weird that we haven’t even enjoyed summer yet and I am already thirsty for Fall! Iwant everything! For fall, H&M is all about “minimal meets maximal” featuring sculptural silhouettes and bold shapes. Lots of textures and packing on all the costume jewelry to help maximize minimal outfits.
“I love how there are so many options this fall, and ways to show the different shapes of your personality. The sleek and minimal pieces feel fresh and modern, and look so great when worn with the new textures, shapes and decorative touches that maximalism brings,” says Ann-Sofie Johansson, H&M’s Head of design.
I am soooo lusting over the burgundy varsity!! A def must-have in my Fall wardrobe. 😉
Rihanna for Armani Jeans and Emporio Armani Underwear
Armani Jeans and Emporio Armani Underwear present their second capsule collections designed in collaboration with Rihanna. The Armani Jeans collection consists of three pieces of denim, four T-shirts, a leather jacket and a canvas bag in two sizes. The Emporio Armani Underwear collection features the tank-top-and-shorts series available in black or grey, embellished with a rhinestone logo; the push-up bra and-thong or panties combination comes in teal or black with a contrasting glitter logo and personalised elastic. A soft micro-fibre series of styles in shaded sky blue completes the collection, and features micro printing and the inscription “Rihanna for Emporio Armani” across the elastic.
Rihanna says, “I have always really admired Giorgio Armani and his elegant work; I never dreamed I’d be able to collaborate with him to design unique, modern and fun clothing.”
Anthropologie Reveals Next Collaborators
Hot off the heels of last month’s highly successful Made in Kind debut, Anthropologie has announced that Tracy Reese will be among the latest batch of designers to be featured in the May installment of the online collaboration platform.
Available April 27, Reese’s seven-piece capsule will be made up of bright lace and photo-printed dresses, all with the same girlie, vintage vibe the designer is known for. Inspired by the gardens of the Frida Kahlo museum, the collection will be priced around $248 to $348 — much like Reese’s already-existing Frock and Plenty diffusion lines. Alongside Reese’s collection, Made in Kind’s May offering will also feature pieces from UK designer Charlotte Taylor, whose collection of op-art printed shifts and jumpsuits will be priced from $118 to $268, and Byron Lars, whose eight-piece capsule of folk-tinged dresses and tops — titled Beguile by Byron Lars — will be priced from $90 to $280.
Also on tap this time around are a range of pieces designed by a variety of India-based designers under the India Collections marquis, as well as new pieces from last month’s partners Karen Walker, Place National, and John Patrick for O by Organic. A sampling of all those — plus more.
MUCH NEEDED: BRIGHT UMBRELLAS!
If there’s one accessory you’re allowed to be truly playful with at all times, it’s your umbrella. After all – if you’re going out in the rain, you might as well have some fun! These bright options from Australian line Gina & May are the perfect alternative to boring black rain gear, with eye catching graphic prints and color combinations. Founder Gina Pollock launched the line in 2009 with her mother as the solution to her troubles finding an umbrella that was both stylish and durable. Some of our favorites are already sold out, but you can still shop some fabulous umbrella styles online at ginaandmay.com, with prices ranging from about $35 to $65. WHY NOT!! This weather in NYC is so sucky we might as well brighten our day with a cute umbrella RIGHT??? 😉
