Fashion's Night Out began in New York in 2009 as a celebration of fashion, and to restore consumer confidence, boost the industry's economy and put the fun back in shopping. The celebration marks the kick off to New York Fashion Week, and all festivities across the nation take place from 6-11 p.m. on Sept. 6.
