Oh what I wouldn’t give to be in NYC tonight! Not only does the Fashion Week start today, Fashion’s Night Out happens tonight as well! Most stores in New York will stay open until 11pm, while various parties and events will be happening all around the city. Models, designers, performers and actors are going to make appearances at various stores, including the one and only Anna Wintour, who is slated to visit Macy’s in the Queens Centre Mall. A mall! Would love to see that one! Fashion’s Night Out is a “global initiative to promote retail, restore consumer confidence, and celebrate fashion” headed by VOGUE, NYC & Co., the City of New York and the Council of Fashion Designers of America.

We’ve invited every fashion retailer across the five boroughs to encourage the fun of fashion again—flagships, tiny boutiques, massive department stores, young designers, mainstream chains, and niche luxury names alike—by keeping its doors open late on the evening of September 10 and to implement creative customer experiences welcoming all. Over 700 retailers and designers across New York City are confirmed participants in Fashion’s Night Out. Most events will take place from 6 P.M. until 11 P.M.

On Fashion’s Night Out, every participating location is open to anyone and everyone. Neither tickets nor invitations are required to join in the Fashion’s Night Out festivities.

The list of celeb and designer appearances after the jump!
