The illustrious Fashion’s Night Out was created by the original devil wearing Prada, Anna Wintour. The Editrix-in-Chief, who sports the best bob in the business, knows exactly how to ease a shopping lull during a recession: Add sales incentives with celebrity sightings, and stir in a little booze.

Sponsored by the fashion bible, Vogue, and the Council of Fashion Designers of America, the event began last year to encourage consumers to shop and support the fashion industry. This year’s Fashion’s Night Out takes place on September 10 and will be a who’s who of elite designers, fashion editors, musicians, and movie stars.
