Across the Alamo City tonight, department stores, boutiques and
retailers will be clamoring for fashionistas at Fashion's Night Out, a
shopping celebration filled with discounts and partying.
The international shopping celebration that started three years ago was spearheaded by Anna Wintour, editor of Vogue magazine, and the Council of Fashion Designers of America to give the fashion industry a much-needed economic jolt.
The night dedicated to boosting the Fashion's Night economy now takes place in more than 100 cities and thousands of stores worldwide, including San Antonio.
A highlight at the Shops at La Cantera will be fundraising exhibition Models & Mannequins: A Passion for Fashion's Night, a display of eight recycled mannequins artfully painted, embellished and designed by top contemporary artists including Waddy Armstrong, Rodolfo Choperena, Angelina Mata, Kathy Sosa, Michael Wayne, Luisa Wheeler, Alex Rubio, and Ken and Clare Little.
The mannequins will be priced to sell at La Cantera at a party from 6 to 9 p.m. with proceeds benefiting Blue Star Contemporary Art Center's exhibitions and MOSAIC education programming. For ticket information, call Blue Star at 210-227-6960 or visit www.bluestarart.org.
Also at La Cantera, Neiman Marcus will roll out the red carpet for arriving guests. Vodka and Champagne will flow, and food from local eateries will be served. Guests will learn about the must-have beauty tools of the season, can rate their favorite fall look, celebrate the 125th anniversary of the tuxedo and meet artist Carlos Betancourt.
At Saks Fifth Avenue at North Star Mall, a trunk show of Stephen Webster's fine jewelry will be displayed, as will special collections from Rebecca Taylor and Alice + Olivia.
Guests will enjoy mini makeovers and manicures. Light food fare and drinks will be served. And all will get a chance to win one of four $250 shopping sprees.
