FNO 2011.

The scene at Tiffany & Co. on Fifth 

An event created by astute businesswoman and fashion god Anna Wintour, Fashion's Night Out cultivates a relationship between shoppers and the people who bring fashion into being: designers, magazine editors, models, retail employees, photographers, bloggers, celebrities, and many others.

FNO was created in 2009 with the underlying intention of boosting the economy after the recession of 2008, but also to get customers involved with the fashion industry in a very unique way. For this one September night each year, all the players of the fashion industry - big and small - are available to interact with the people [consumers] that support their business. FNO is a phenomenal idea and has been a great success. This year, FNO was celebrated in eighteen countries.

My first thought upon seeing this photo was the elegiac holographic image of Kate Moss shown for the first time during the finale of Alexander McQueen Fall 2006 show -- a phenomenal sight. 





The hologram was recreated in miniature form for the Metropolitan Museum's exhibition, Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty.
