Fashion’s Night Out: Seattle Recap

Last week, thanks to The Downtown Seattle Association, Seattle Met Megazine, and Pacific Place, I was invited to the Fashion’s Night Out event “Downtown Rocks the Runway” fashion show. In the days leading up to the show, I wrote posts detailing the event and even launched a giveaway (my most successful one yet!) The entire experience was absolutely wonderful as it gave me a chance to network with other professionals in the industry and even other bloggers in the area.

This was the first fashion show I’d ever attended, but lets hope it is not the last. New York Fashion Week next year? Someday, I hope!

While I did not sample any of the food, I did hear that it was delicious and that the drinks were flowing throughout the evening. I did, however, come home with a snazzy gift back from the show that I still haven’t gone through entirely. Most importantly, I loved getting a first look at the trends for this upcoming fall season. The model above is wearing a fabulous dress, but she was also my favorite for the night! Who is this girl, really?!

Best walk award.

Fashion’s Night Out: Seattle

Earlier this week, I met with the Downtown Seattle Association and Seattle Met Magazine to discuss next week’s big Fashion’s Night Out event on Thursday, September 6th! Even though I’ve been reading about FNO since the event began back in 2009, this is the first time that I have ever gotten a first look at it or rather a behind-the-scenes look.

In previous years, Seattle and Bellevue retailers would host their own in-store events, but this year, the Downtown Seattle Association, Seattle Met Magazine, and Pacific Place are trying to create a more cohesive experience. In addition to in-store events, there will also be a spectacular runway show featuring all of this fall’s hottest trends held in the Pacific Place Atrium. The Downtown Seattle Rocks the Runway event will be from 5:30pm-9pm and feature a photo booth provided by Seattle Met Magazine and cocktails served in the lounges set for ticket holders to the show.

There will be 70 looks provided from downtown Seattle retailers including: Nordstrom, Macy’s, Mario’s, Barneys New York, Alhambra,  True Religion Brand Jeans, and many more with hair styled by 7 Salon and makeup by Gene Juarez Salons.

Tickets are going quick, but if you still want to snag yours, click here. The proceeds from ticket sales will go directly to O Wines Opportunity For Success Scholarship Program to help provide young women with college scholarships. It’s a great cause that I think we can all try and get behind through supporting fashion too!

Stay tuned to Yow Yow for more Fashion’s Night Out themed posts including fall trends, events happening that can’t be missed, and the new scavenger hunt!

Additionally: I am giving away a Pacific Place $50 gift card!

Whether you’ll be using it at Fashion’s Night Out or for another occasion, you don’t want to miss out! Pacific Place is home to some of my favorite retailers including J. Crew, Kate Spade, BCBG Max Azria, Club Monaco, and many more. 

To enter, leave a comment here and tell me what item you’ll be splurging on for this fall! If you’ve got a picture of the item you’re talking about, send me a link!

Congratulations to Bethany!
