The Haute List of FNO-DC Events

Year before last, I was in New York for the very first Fashion’s Night Out, the largest, most stylish shopping event on earth. I missed FNO and Fashion Week completely last year. So I am really excited and gearing up to kick off the Spring 2012 Fashion Week season this Thursday, September 8, 2011 at FNO DC-Georgetown from 6-11pm.
