Editors of Vogue from around the world converge today in Tokyo for a very special Fashion's Night Out event in a bid to boost spirits and sales following the earthquake and tsunami which
devastated Japan earlier this year.
For the first time Vogue editors from all its magazines across the world joined forces for Fashion's Night Out Japan. Led by American Vogue Editor Anna Wintour, who conceived of
Fashion's Night Out in the midst of the 2009 economic crisis, the editors represent the 18 countries where Vogue is published. "Japan is a major player in the global fashion community,
both as supporters and wonderful contributors to it," says Wintour. "The country's educated consumers and its designers -- from supremely inventive established names such as Yohji
Yamamoto and Junya Watanabe, to exciting new labels such as Sacai - invigorate our world. We are thrilled to support and celebrate Japan's far-reaching influence and creativity with a
very special Fashion's Night Out in Tokyo."
Fashion's Night Out invites people to a nocturnal festival of shopping in a street fair atmosphere and has been credited with raising spirits and retail sales as thousands flock to the
hundreds of stores open late. This year, Fashion's Night Out is taking place in all 18 markets where Vogue is published. Record crowds have thronged cities throughout the world like New
York, London, Paris, Milan, Beijing, Madrid, Berlin and Moscow. In Tokyo, the event will take place Saturday November 5 in the shopping meccas of Otomodosondo, Aoyama and Harajuku.
Top designers and fashion industry executives are expected to come as well.
"The presence of all the Vogue editors in Tokyo underscores Condé Nast's deep commitment to this market. Japan is a key market for the fashion industry, and we will give it the maximum
support possible as the country recovers." says Jonathan Newhouse, Chairman of Condé Nast International.
Fashion's Night Out Tokyo will take place Saturday, 5 November 2011, 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 pm, in the Omotesando, Aoyama, and Harajuku areas of Tokyo. Event Sponsors include Audi
Japan, American Express International, Inc., Perrier and Lenovo (Japan) Ltd. Partners include Japan Tourism Agency, Harajuku Omotesando Keyaki Organization. Fashionsnightout.jp
