Fashion’s Night Out Insanity in Meatpacking


Like thousands of other great fashionistas, I spent my Fashion’s Night Out 2011 cursing the shops of the Meatpacking District in search of free drinks and couture. It’s like one big free party where the guests of honor are the clothes. I started out the evening with a mixed drink at Hugo Boss. There, I got the urge to take a picture of myself in the mirror to show off both my outfit and the store as a whole. I kept doing this at every single store throughout the night.

My next stop was Matthew Williamson (pictured left) where the colors were vibrant as always. Due to some rambunctious fashion lovers last year, the House of Matthew Williamson had a strict two drink maximum. With lines around the block, Alexander McQueen was harder to get into than Will and Kate’s Royal Wedding. So I headed over to Diane von Furstenberg which had crowds of its own and some really awesome dresses. After stopping by Catherine Malandrino and Scoop, I hopped around some more and finished the evening with a mojito at Carlos Mieli. FNO is always a good time.

On Fashion’s Night Out, celebrities make appearances everywhere. I was secretly hoping to see a Kardashian. The girls from the new cast of America’s Next Top Model All Stars took over the Express store in SoHo.

The crazy shoes of FNO! Everyone was taking pictures of this girl’s shoes.

The streets of Meatpacking were transformed into a couture-driven Disney World. Can’t wait until next year.

Matthew Williamson’s Collection Exclusively at Macy’s

After the success of Kinder Aggugini’s line for the Macy’s Impulse department that launched in February 2011, Matthew Williamson will also be making an exclusive appearance at the Macy’s Impulse department as the second designer to take part in the capsule collection series. This bright and chic designer line will be available at Macy’s stores nationwide beginning April 13th with model Dree Hemingway as the face of the collection.

If Matthew Williamson’s designer line for Macy’s were a song, it would by Katy Perry’s Firework. His use of color is absolutely impeccable throughout the line’s sophisticated separates and collectible 70s-inspired dresses complete with irresistible prints. Anyone looking to get noticed by the paparazzi should always wear bold fashions and Matthew Williamson’s designs have it. His combination of unconventional sophistication makes his pieces transition flawlessly from day to night. The disco era inspired designs range from $50 – $120 in price making them incredibly affordable to those looking to climb the social ladder. Those already on top can get their fix of the British designer’s signature neon hues at his flagship store on West 14th St. in the Meatpacking District.
