André Leon Talley, Vogue Editor-at-Large, and model turned blogger Hanneli Mustaparta will host a live webcast of Fashion Night Out: The Show. On September 7th, 2010 at 7pm ET CBS.com will live stream the largest fashion show ever in New York City. Presented by Macy’s and Maybelline New York, 150 top models will gather at Lincoln Center, the new home to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week S/S 2011, to showcase the best of Fall fashion trends.
“As CBS.com continues to be one of the top sites in the entertainment field, it will prove to be the perfect home for an event of this magnitude,” said Anthony Soohoo, SVP & GM of Entertainment & Lifestyle at CBS Interactive. “We are thrilled to be able to allow our millions of users a first look at fall’s hottest trends in addition to inspiring awareness of the much-needed economic stimulus that Fashion’s Night Out provides.”
Fashion Night Out is a global initiative taking place in over 15 countries. In New York City FNO will take place on Friday, September 10, from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. More than 800 participating stores across the five boroughs will take part staging exciting, one-of-a-kind events in stores open after-hours to the public. Last year shoppers were able to see Sarah Jessica Parker singing standards with Oscar de la Renta, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen tending bar, as well as Michael Kors, Justin Timberlake, Kate Hudson, Rihanna and Gwen Stefani (just to name a few) at various stores throughout NYC supporting the industry. This year promises even better and bigger events.
