Fall has finally graced us with its presence and that means one thing for the wonderful world of fashion, beautiful chaos. On Thursday September 8, 2011 this world was dripping with glamour. Whether it was those 4-inch stilettos you slipped into for the evening’s festivities or that big splurge you’re still marveling over, our world of retail made a killing. Fashion’s Night Out underwent its third annual celebration, an event started by Vogue in the midst of the recession in order to promote and support our retail communities. This fashion initiative occurred in over 250 cities and was an event heard ‘round the world.
If you thought all this fashion was reserved for the runways of New York Fashion Week, think again. Boulder celebrated their first ever FNO event, which was a huge success for many of our local retail stores. “I think it was a great marketing tool, just to get the word out about all the great local retail in Boulder and to get people in the store. I think it will be really good for business in the long run,” stated Heather Carp of Topo Ranch. Shoppers were provided with cocktails, live music, h’orderves, and of course a few deals here and there. So whether you walked away with some steals, or just had a good time, Boulder has officially become a part of this wonderful initiative. Fashion lives on, and that my friends can only mean good things.
