Vogue Fashions Night Out held on November 5th is an annual international shopping event held simultaneously in 17 countries or more. FNO is a global initiative aimed at “revitalizing the economy”. En lieu of this fashionable night out all the major fashion labels in the Omotesando and Harajuku shopping district provide champagne and apperitifs as customers flock to shop and possibly catch their favorite celebrities out shopping as well.

Wrapping up the Fox TV interviews and shopping at Fendi I was free to browse the stores and hunt out my favorite designers. I heard Marcus Wainwright of Rag & Bone was at his store as well as Thom Browne and Junya Watanabe from Comme De Garcons were around town. I stopped on the way at Marc Jacobs to pick up a wallet and met Martin Webb as well as Tiffany Godoy, and Yoshiko Webb.

I was so tired at this point I took a breather with Rena…

The night was buzzing with so much activity I couldn’t stay still for long. There were so many more people to meet. Moving on!

Next I bumped into my friend and designer Walter Griao from Griao who then introduced me to Junya Watanabe from Comme de Garcons.

Thom Browne!

I got so nervous meeting him in person, I started rambling…obviously. haha

Finally dropped by Rag & Bone meeting Kana Oya and Melody Yoko Reilly.

Moving on to SJX we bumped into the fabulous Jonte Moaning and Jasmine.

The best part, other than drinking champagne while shopping, is to be able to meet everyone dressed up and looking beautiful. The streets were overflowing with shoppers and taxis could not drive a block in 5minutes. The vibe was positively electric and felt like what Tokyo had been before the earthquake and tsunami in March. Vogue Fashions Night

Our mission had been successful. Still my night did not end just yet. I had a special invitation to “An Evening Celebrating American Fashion with Michael Kors” at the U.S. ambassador’s residence.
