September 19, 2011 New York City Celebrates 3rd Annual Fashion’s Night Out
On September 8, New York City was swirling with extra energy from the festivities of the third annual Fashion’s Night Out. Approximately 1,000 stores from all over the city participated in this year’s event, hosting after-hours celebrations that featured celebrity appearances, live music, makeovers and gifts-with-purchase. The event was established in 2009 to add a boost to the industry’s economy by celebrating fashion and restoring consumer confidence. Sarah Brown, Beauty Director of Vogue, stated, “Fashion’s Night Out is an amazing opportunity for fashion and beauty to come together. It gets customers excited about what’s new, and the electricity you feel in the stores is a great way to kick off the season.”
Expanding from New York, approximately 250 cities across the US and more than 15 countries worldwide have coordinated their own Fashion’s Night Out events this year.

Customers went into the booth to be photographed and were also asked to name the three beauty products they could not live without. The photo, which was emailed to the customer, could also be Tweeted and followed on Facebook.
For a $75.00 purchase that night, customers received a GWP of a full-size Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara and a 20-day supply for a friend.
“We’re always looking for new and innovative ways to animate the beauty story,” declared Barbara Zinn-Moore, Lord & Taylor’s Senior Vice President and GMM for Cosmetics and Fragrance. “Estée Lauder took it a step further with computer technology inside the Photomation booth. Customers love it, and it’s driving sales.”
