Nowness has a list of events happening tonight at Fashion’s Night Out in New York City. So if you’re planning your itineraries, this is one to check out. Here’s the list for convenience:
Rag & Bone and 3.1 Phillip Lim have partnered to host a block party on Mercer Street with ice creams from Van Leeuwen and burgers from the BLT Food Truck, as well as a performance from Chicago-based alt-rockers My Gold Mask; and around the corner at Jil Sander, Garance Doré is hosting an exhibition of her photographs, which encapsulate the spontaneous feeling of Raf Simons’s Fall 2010 collection for the minimalist fashion house.
Alexander McQueen—417 W 14th Street, New York
Alexander McQueen will be shrugging off the woes of the past year with cocktails and a raffle for one of its signature Union Jack clutches, as well selling a unique double-wrap python skull bracelet for the event night only.
Opening Ceremony, Ace Hotel, 20 W 29th Street, New York
Opening Ceremony has a bag of tricks up its sleeve for FNO, with a gaggle of designers peddling exclusive garb the old-fashioned way at the super-boutique’s self-styled “French flea market” in the lobby of the Ace Hotel Manhattan. Preppy rebel Scott Sternberg will seduce customers with a limited edition Band of Outsiders T-shirt emblazoned with the brand’s unofficial mascot, the Cookie Monster, which comes replete with a cookie fromMomofuku’s pastry genius Christina Tosi; Rodarte has returned to childhood, referencing 80s prom gear with floral sweatshirts and T-shirts; and legendary Parisian taxidermist Deyrolle, has designed a range of scarves emblazoned with wildlife, including foxes, butterflies and wildcats.
Marni—159 Mercer Street, New York
Consuelo Castiglioni’s quirky label expands into the home for FNO, featuring cushions in goatskin sewn to create geometric motifs, and blow-up pillows in PVC with a naive doll design by French artist Claude Caillol, who has previously collaborated with the brand on a series of recycled plastic bags.
Prada—575 Broadway, New York
Prada has been drawing on its archives of late: the house’s fall 2010 show featured a return to the ultra-feminine 50s silhouette, and it recently launched a hugely successful limited run of sun dresses featuring retro prints. This FNO, Prada has further explored this fixation, producing a limited-edition “BYO” tote featuring gothic shades of layered lipsticks—all proceeds go to charity New Yorkers for Children.
Looking forward to the spring 2011 collections, which are due to debut on the runway on September 21, the British fashion house has come up with a black leather bracelet with nickel stud detailing that channels the brand’s enduring rock and roll spirit (it will also be shown in the concerts they are hosting in stores around the world).
