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.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
