Fashion's Night Out Returns To NYC For The Third Year! Start Planning Now!

New York's biggest fashion party returns to the city for the third year in a row! On September 8, celebrities, designers, and stars, will come together to perform and mingle with shoppers drink open bar and ostensibly snap up exclusive designs and deals for Fashion's Night Out. The schedule is up now.

This year, some 200 e-tailers have signed on so that FNO consumers can even participate from home if you want to avoid the crowds of those who are just looking to party.  Some stores will even be streaming their events for out-of-towners or those who would like to travel with Anna Wintour as she travels from store to store.

Just a few of the big fashion names that will be out and about include Joseph Altuzarra, Yigal Azrouël, Oscar Blandi, Eddie Borgo, Bobbi Brown, Georgina Chapman, Frédéric Fekkai, Prabal Gurung, Lazaro Hernandez, Tommy Hilfiger, Marc Jacobs, Genevieve Jones, Donna Karan, Michael Kors, Phillip Lim, Jenna Lyons, Catherine Malandrino, Jack McCollough,  Zac Posen, Tracy Reese, Pamella Roland,  and so many more.

And for those who are less in it for the fashion and more excited about potential celebrity spotting, there will be plenty of those as well. Lily Aldridge, Rachel Bilson, Lauren Conrad, LuAnn de Lesseps, Diddy, Beth Ditto,Nacho Figueras, Sky Ferreira, Iman, Kris Jenner, Joe Jonas, Heidi Klum, Solange Knowles, Karolina Kurkova, Adriana Lima, Seth Meyers, Nicki Minaj, Hayden Panettiere, Nicole Richie, Amar'e Stoudemire, Tilda Swinton, Rachel Zoe and many more. Get your cameras ready now. This is going to be bananas!
