Tonight: Fashion's Night Out Los Angeles at Beverly Center
Last Year's Catwalk at Beverly Center
()
Fashion's Night Out Los Angeles at Beverly Center kicks off at 5:00 p.m. with an opening ceremony featuring Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, “Vogue’s” Senior West Coast Editor Lisa Love, The Black Eyed Peas’ Taboo and host of the fashion show to follow, actress and designer Nicole Richie.
The center court has once again been transformed into a high fashion catwalk with the first show starting at 5:30 and the second, featuring contemporary and juniors looks, at 8 p.m. Over 100 of the surrounding shops will promote partying as well as shopping throughout the evening, offering everything from complimentary champagne and red carpet makeovers to deep discounts, giveaways and raffles on the latest designs. And everyone’s a winner with free self-parking available from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Fashion's Night Out was founded by “Vogue” editor Anna Wintour a few years ago in New York City, but has now gone global. This is the second year Los Angeles has participated in the international event, which encourages shoppers to forget their recession worries and stimulate the economy through shopping. More than 25,000 people attended the event last year at Beverly Center.
The full schedule of events happening tonight at Beverly Center can be found here. Other Fashion's Night Out events across the city are happening at Melrose Ave./ Place, Robertson Blvd., West 3rd St., Venice, and Westfield Century City.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
