Fashion lovers, grab a chair and take notes on this one: Fashion's Night Out (FNO) 2010 is coming to Miami! This global celebration is taking place on Friday, September 10th. Created by VOGUE Magazine, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, NYC & Company and the City of New York, here are my picks for the hottest FNO events around town:1. Bal Harbour Shops (9700 Collins Avenue, Bal Harbour) is starting their festivities at 7 p.m. when the shops transform into an amazing block party with food, music, special-edition merchandise, personal appearances and a few surprises. More than 40 stores have partnered with a non-profit organization and will donate a percentage of the evening’s proceeds. Vogue Latinoamérica will be distributing complimentary September magazines during the night.
Chloé at Bal Harbour Shops will be hosted by Latina actress, host and producer of Telemundo’s Al Rojo Vivo Maŕia Celeste Arrarás; actress and model Paola Turbay and Miami philanthropist and socialite Kelly Gold. Guests are invited to enjoy live beats, champagne by Louis Roederer and hors d’oeuvres while perusing Chloé’s Autumn/Winter 2010 ready-to-wear collection. A portion of the evening’s proceeds will benefit Rally for Kids, a non-profit organization providing critical funds for care, treatment and research for children suffering from cancer. To RSVP, please email Chloe@taraink.com.
2. Village of Merrick Park (358 San Lorenzo Avenue, Coral Gables) is hosting a trendy FNO Lounge featuring cool music, light bites provided by SAWA Restaurant & Lounge, informal modeling and a sneak peak of Fall 2010 trends. Bring your friends and unwind as you sip complimentary cocktails provided by Belvedere Vodka & Atlantico Rum. Patrons will be able to capture their Fashion’s Night Out experience by receiving a complimentary professional picture with any purchase of $25 or more from any retailer throughout the center. FNO participants include Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Diane von Furstenberg, Betsey Johnson, Juicy Couture, Gucci, Donald Pliner, Jimmy Choo and Etro (just to name a few).
