Fashion's Night Out

New York City, always a fashion destination, became the epicenter of a major fashion event when Fashion's Night Out returned to the Big Apple on September 6th.

Now in its fourth year, the event gave eager shoppers the chance to mix and mingle with stars, celebrities, and fashion industry luminaries while taking advantage of after-hours shopping and, in many cases, special deals and prices.

Live music, free gifts, and an appearance by none other than the forever fabulous Miss Piggy were just a few of the highlights of this epic event. Other celebrities making an appearance for the big night included Glee stars Lea Michele, Heather Morris, and Darren Criss.

Products sold from the official FNO collection will benefit the New York City AIDS Fund in the New York Community Trust.

Clothing and accessories sold through community benefit events like Fashion's Night Out share in the spirit of  Shopping for a Change® by supporting consumer driven charity and aide. Handcrafted jewelry and fair trade gifts from Shopping for a Change® may go to support artisans in need, and and like Fashion's Night Out, it also benefits social efforts stateside, by supporting U.S. nonprofits in need.

Handmade designs like those at Shopping for a Change® take the humanitarian efforts of fashion in a different direction. Fair trade, handmade products are the focus for our site, with ethical concerns on a global scale.  Read about our Community Improvement Projects.
