Fashion's Night Out

September is quickly approaching, which means that Fashion Week, held in New York City's Bryant Park is just around the corner. While Fashion Week is always a big deal for New York, it is especially important this year.

There's no hiding from the slumping economy. The recession is here, it's been here and it looks like it will be sticking around for a while longer. New York City is not immune to the effects of this recession. That is why Fashion Week has teamed up with "Fashion's Night Out" , a global initiave to "promote retail, restore consumer confidence, and celebrate fashion,". U.S. Vogue and it's international editions have set up fashion extravaganzas in their respective fashion capitals. Obviously, the United State's extravanaza would take place in New York City and what better time to hold a fashion event then during New York City's Fashion Week!

Second only to Finance, Fashion is the next largest sector of industry in New York City. According to

FashionsNightOut.com , the fashion industry is led by 800 fashion companies, employing 175,000 people and generating 10 billion in total wages. Not only does this mean fashion brings alot of revenue into the city, but it also employees a large group of people so this event is very important to the people on New York.

On September 10th, retailers all across the five boroughs will be coming together for Fashion's Night Out. The event will keep its doors open late and will be open to everybody. Unlike the rest of Fashion Week events, a ticket to the event is not needed.
