Fashion’s Night Out in D.C.

Posted by The Editorial Desk / Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

Good morning, shoppers! Here’s hoping you all made it to where you are safely — and dry. Should you need a little lift this morning, other than some high, waterproof wedges or something, you’re in luck.

Fashionistas, as you know, the annual global fashion celebration Fashion’s Night Out is coming up soon, Sept. 10. What you may not have heard is that Georgetown is gearing up for the evening with perks planned that could rival even those in NYC! And, just think, no pricey train ticket or time off from work needed.

From 6-11 p.m. on Sept. 10, over 60 Georgetown stores, restaurants and salons will be joining together to make it one “epic” evening, offering over 60 unique fashion-focused events. Festivities are to  include: Cirque du Soleil performances around the neighborhood (and a chance to win tickets to “Ovo” when it comes to D.C.);  fashionista-themed cocktails for charity at Farmers & Fishers; a Nintendo Wii tournament at Lacoste with fantastic fall apparel prizes; a chic shoppers’ lounge at Dean & Deluca thanks to Vitaminwater;  a Halston Heritage trunk show, gifts with purchase and treats at Urban Chic; free bus rides; pedicabs for those with a proof of purchase and much more!

“Fashion’s Night Out is one of the biggest and most exciting global fashion events ever to come to D.C., and Georgetown is absolutely thrilled to be the neighborhood leading the efforts for D.C.,” says Nancy Miyahira, marketing director of the Georgetown Business Improvement District, sponsor and organizer of the event.
