FASHION’S NUMBER ONE FAN is part of CBS’s coverage of Fashion’s Night Out. CBS will present a primetime special about the making of Fashion’s Night Out, FASHION’s NIGHT OUT 2010, which will be broadcast Tuesday, Sept. 14 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT). The upcoming special will focus on year two of Fashion’s Night Out, beginning with the largest public fashion show in New York City history, with nearly 200 models at Lincoln Center on Sept. 7, 2010. Fashion’s Night Out comes three days later, on Sept. 10, 2010, in New York City and cities across the country and the globe. CBS cameras will take viewers behind the scenes during months of intense planning and preparation and tracking the night itself as it unfolds across the globe. Cameras will follow celebrities, designers, editors and retailers as they prepare for one of the most anticipated events of the year, providing a unique view of the creative and logistical work that goes into coordinating an event of this scale. Profiles will include some of fashion’s most famous icons, along with the industry’s most exciting emerging talent. Looking beyond the glamour to the real-life implications at stake, the show will focus on individuals working in all parts of the industry, from salespeople to design staff, for whom the vibrancy of the fashion business is a question of economic survival.
Now in its second year, Fashion’s Night Out, a worldwide initiative to celebrate fashion and support local economies, was launched in 2009 by Vogue, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and NYC & Company in response to the global economic downturn – it is a party with a purpose that no one should miss.
