Let’s face it, fall is fashion’s favorite season. This month, fashion is the headline here in Charlotte. Excitement is brewing for all the fashionistas awaiting upon Charlotte NC Fashion Week at the end of this month. In the mean time, there’s something else to entertain your stylish side.

On September 10, “Fashion’s Night Out” will grace its presence here in Charlotte. Fashion’s Night Out is a global initiative conceived by Vogue editor-in-cheif Anna Wintour and designer Diane von Furstenberg. Its aim is to save the fashion industry by encouraging the celebration and support of the fashion and retail industries during a troubling economic time. The event started in 2009 in New York and was a big success. This year, the event will take place in Australia, Brazil, China, London, Milan and Portugal among other cities worldwide.

There will be trunk shows featuring women’s and men’s fall fashion trends, the must-have beauty tools of the season, with advice from makeup artists from favorite cosmetic brands, an interpretation of season’s trends from the students at the Art Institute of Charlotte and more.
