Who's In for Fashion's Night Out?

Fashion’s Night Out—“the biggest shopping event of the year”—is just around the corner, and the fashion world is in a tizzy. Vena Cava is hosting an “all-girl block party” on Grand Street in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood for the Sept. 10 event. Explained Vena Cava designer Lisa Mayock: “Girl designers, store owners, artists, and DJs—which will bring the men flocking, I’m sure!” Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, on the other hand, will have a DJ in the window of their SoHo store, periodic drawings for discount shopping cards, and a caricature artist who will sketch every visitor to the store’s second floor. Meanwhile, cashmere-haven Brunello Cucinelli will have an artist named Queen of Salt displaying her work in their West Village outpost—and a chef from Umbria serving Prosecco and appetizers.
