A friend of mine was wearing this shirt the other day. It is to promote this years FASHION NIGHT OUT in NYC. On Sept. 10th, NYC stores will be open until 11PM to promote shopping.There are over 100,000 employees in the fashion industry in NYC and they are calling YOU to bring FUN back to fashion by joining in this experience.
Check out the PSA:
After seeing that, what do you think about the event? I personally am ALL for the shameless celeb-spotting, the free music and possible snacks. I am also 100% for the clothing drive and the the T-shirt fundraiser for 9/11. BUT, I get the feeling that this glitz and glam is an effort to beg others to shop at their own expense to benefit the also recession troubled fashion industry. I'm sorry P-Diddy and SJP, did your multi-million dollar paycheck come up a bit short? The rest of us are struggling too. I really do feel for the low-end retail workers depending on their jobs/pay BUT I do not feel bad for over-priced designers and boutiques.
I am on the fence about this Black Tuesday minus the discounts. We will let the people of NYC decide if they will embrace the "fun" being put back into shopping or let the fashion industry suffer alongside every other one.
