fashion's night out

Put on your stilettos and sashay over to Roger Vivier at 65th and Madison to celebrate Fashion's Night Out! Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester, Vogue contributing editor (and upcoming Gossip Girl guest star) Lauren Santo Domingo, and Best-Dressed list regulars Coco Brandolini, Caroline Sieber, Alexia Niedzielski are co-hosting a cocktail party to mark the launch of five new Roger Vivier fragrances. While we're excited to shop for shoes, shoes, shoes (woman are eternally indebted to Roger Vivier for creating the stiletto heel) and pretty scents, we're biting our nails anticipating what the five stylish young co-hosts will wear in an epic fashion face-off. While Fashion's Night Out events are set to occur all over the world, New York City takes center-stage. Part of Roger Viver's proceeds will benefit The New York City AIDS Fund in The New York Community Trust (and if you need another incentive, there are gifts with purchase!). If you're looking to shake and shimmy on September 10th, there will also be a live French/American retro jazz band, BON MUSIQUE, performing. Maybe you can convince Leighton to get on mic and sing a few tunes with the band!

Macy's is throwing one star-studded event for this year's Fashion's Night Out fete--and the best part about this A-list event is that everyone's invited! We're so excited, we've already set out are party plan of attack! First, we'll kick things off right at 5pm with a tailgate party on Broadway, hosted by none other than Tommy Hilfiger! Once we've had our fill of the outdoor festivities, we'll be heading to the shoe department for a chance to mingle with songstress Joss Stone, and even walk away with a signed copy of her CD with any Nine West shoe purchase--that's what we call a two-for-one-price! Then we'll slap on our brand new shoes and head to the main floor for a chance to meet designer Oscar De La Renta. Now that we're sufficiently starstruck, it's finally time for our close-up! We'll head to the 2nd floor at 6pm for a photo shoot with Rachel Roy, and a chance to be featured in the designers Fall 2010 lookbook. To top it all off, we'll take the escalator two flights up for a chance to meet Jessica Simpson. Whew, we're exhausted just thinking about it!

What do you get when you mix in Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Daphne Guinness, the Proenza Schouler boys, a karaoke machine and a ping pong table? Barney's Fashion's Night Out all-out bash, that's what. If Proenza Schouler's PS1 bag has ever made you spontaneously break into song, now is your chance to serenade the designers Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough, who along with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen will be judging a Karaoke contest that's open to the public. If singing isn't really your thing, you can still indulge your competitive side with a ping pong tournament against the likes of David Neville and Marcus Wainwright of Rag & Bone, Sam Shipley & Jeff Halmos of Shipley & Halmos, Rogan Gregory & Scott Hahn of Rogan, and brothers Ben & Doug Burkman of Burkman Bros among others. Although if their backhands are as good as their design-skills, you might want to think again! Instead, you can browse artist and illustrator Andrew Yang's collection of 27" fashion rag dolls, or pop over to see Daphne Guinness (and whatever insane get-up she has on) promote her new fragrance. For the bookworm in you, there'll be two book signings celebrating Island Records founder Chris Blackwell's book Keep on Running: The Story of Island Records. and photographer Johnn Rosza's book, Untouched. And when it's all said and done, you can walk out with a limited-edition Alexander McQueen scarf, on sale only during Barneys Fashion's Night Out 2010 party.
