Shoppers meet Kardashian, Miss Piggy on night out |
| |
07/09/12 By early evening in New York, the basement beauty floor of Bergdorf Goodman was packed.
Donna Karan mingled with Miss Piggy, Michael Kors judged karaoke with Kate Upton and Kim Kardashian signed perfume sets Thursday as shoppers broke out their stilettos and their wallets for the fourth annual Fashion s Night Out.
The celebrity-studded night lured shoppers into stores for celebrity spotting, music, giveaways, food and drinks, and, just maybe, shopping.
Madeleine Russell of Manhattan, wearing her FNO shirt from last year, got her nails done ahead of a long line. She attends Fashion s Night Out events every year.
"I m inspired by all the fashion around me and I get my own ideas," she said.
Like the FNO pro she is, Russell planned to head home from Bergdorf to put on makeup and her Manolo Blahniks to see Cyndi Lauper at the Blahnik store promoting her new musical, "Kinky Boots."
Across town, Kim Kardashian signed $123 gift sets of her perfume True Reflection at Lord & Taylor and was ready to hop a plane to Charlotte, N.C., for an after party for the Democratic National Convention. "Because it is a lot of running around I wanted to be comfortable," she said. "This Tom Ford dress is, like, stretchy. So at least I m really comfortable."
Fashion s Night Out launched in 2009 in New York by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour has proven so popular that it s now a fixture in some 19 countries, over three weeks involving tens of thousands of shoppers.
By dusk in Paris, the luxury shopping district was awash with thousands of people out to see spectacles like the one at Chloe, where a parade of dancing cheerleaders descended from a Chevrolet truck.
