Fashion's Night Out - Zona Rosa style!

For the first time in Kansas City, local shopping districts will come together in the name of fashion to offer a special shopping event in conjunction with New York City’s popular Fashion’s Night Out, scheduled for Thursday, September 8.

Conceived two years ago, the City of New York partnered with Vogue Magazine and created Fashion’s Night Out as a promotion to gain excitement for shopping and restore consumer confidence. This year, Fashion’s Night Out will debut in Kansas City bringing together events at shopping districts from throughout the city.
Kansas City will be commemorating along with Milan, Atlanta and Los Angeles and many other cities throughout the world in a simultaneous Fashion’s Night Out celebration Thursday, September 8, 2011. Locally, the night will include special promotions in stores, live music, fashion shows, live models, celebrities, makeovers, food and drink sampling and more.
Just as it was done in New York two years ago when Mayor Michael Bloomberg proclaimed Fashion’s Night Out, Kansas City’s Mayor Sly James also has officially proclaimed September 8 Fashion’s Night Out Kansas City.
The fun begins with live entertainment at 5 p.m. and continues with extended shopping hours until 10 p.m. (Click here for a list of participating stores/restaurants)
