“Shopping for Labels, Shopping for Love…" Shopping for Charlotte’s economy? Fashion’s Night Out, a global initiative started by Vogue New York in 2009, is hitting Charlotte Sept. 9 in a big way. The idea, launched as a global initiative, aims to promote retail, celebrate fashion, and re-establish confidence in today’s economy. This year, the event is returning to NYC and a number of cities worldwide, including our very own, Queen City. Charlotte’s own, Effie Loukas, stylist extraordinaire and owner of Lotus Boutique, has organized Charlotte’s encore appearance of Fashion’s Night Out with the help of 14 boutiques, salons and makeup artists. Come be a part of one of the most exciting additions to Charlotte’s fashion scene, which will be held tonight at Butter NC.
While the rest of the city rests up Monday from partying Sunday night, I'll be happily not hungover (hopefully) on an airplane to the Caribbean to start my vacation. Woo hoo!
I'll let your wave of jealousy pass as you peruse this short list of parties going down Sunday night in the Q.C. Happy Labor Day!
