Anna Wintour in Queens (for Fashion’s Night Out)

August 17th, 2009

We never thought we’d see the day when Vogue editrix Anna Wintour would set foot in a mall, let alone a mall in Queens. But for one night only, you and hundreds (okay dozens) of other Vogue fans and curious fashionistas alike will have a chance to not only meet Wintour, but get her autograph (and nods of outfit disapproval) as she hosts a signing with designer Michael Kors at the Queens Center Mall Macy’s. It’s all part of “Fashion’s Night Out” — a global event designed to promote fashion and retail in major cities across the world. In New York, more than 700 shops and boutiques will be keeping its doors open late on September 10th, with special appearances, giveaways and events designed just for the occasion.

Barneys flagship store on Madison Avenue and 61st Street will be transformed into a street fair of sorts, with appearances by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (promoting their new collection for “The Row”), as well as Marcus Wainwright and David Neville from Rag & Bone, Thom Browne, Narcisco Rodriguez and others. Stella McCartney and Armani are serving up cocktails and special discounts, there’s live music at Bloomingdale’s, karaoke at Kiehl’s and Opening Ceremony is hosting a “garage sale,” with Rodarte, Alexander Wang, Proenza Schouler and Band of Outsiders selling goods made exclusively for the event, out of the back of custom cars. It’s the one time you can safely buy a signature Alex Wang handbag from the back of a dark van in Chinatown without feeling cheap and seriously illegal.

The entire list of participating designers and stores can be found HERE. In the meantime, we’ve already started planning our itinerary for the night. We’re thinking of starting out with a drink or two at Maison Martin Margiela and OAK, before heading over to Opening Ceremony for some shopping, a stop at Prada’s visual art exhibition and then winding down with a party at Pat Field’s. What are YOU most looking forward to? And who thinks fashion should have more than just one night out?
