The preparation is already starting for the biggest ever Fashion Night Out 2011. The event will encompass not just New York City but every city all over the globe, and this time it’s it has included online stores. Fashion Night Out will take place on September 8, 2011. With the participation of Vogue and NYC & Company, it’s going to be a big blast.

This year will be the third Fashion Night Out in the history. The success of 2009 and 2010’s fashion night outs have brought us the most awaited fashion event in the fashion industry. Just like before, it is expected that this year’s FNO will include special events participated by prominent people in the industry, models and designers. There will also be special deals and parties.

But this year has a special twist. You can enjoy Fashion Night Out in the comfort of your home. They will include online e-tailers to participate in the event. Vogue editors will also create custom Polyvore as part of the countdown. The promotions will begin on August 15, 2011.

Vogue Fashion Editor, Anna Wintour has imagined it to be bigger this year. The fashion industry is much better compared to 2009 and 2010. With the inclusion of online stores, it will definitely be the biggest fashion night out!

A Fashion Night Out collection will also be available for purchase. They include baseball caps, tees and tote bags. A portion of the Fashion Night Out Collection will go to the New York City AIDS Fund.

In case you don’t know Anna Wintour—chief editor of Vogue magazine since 1988, she is the most influential person in the fashion world. Her world exceeds beyond fashion and also to business, entertainment and politics —she’s actually a peer among the likes of Oprah and Martha.

Her name may not be as widely known as Oprah Winfrey and Martha Stewart but as editor-in-chief of vogue magazine, she might still be influencing unsuspected costumers, designers, shops, celebrities and people. Her words, thoughts and ideals as presented in Vogue are read and acquired by consumers and trendsetters alike.

Hence WSJ magazine, a glossy lifestyle magazine, features Wintour in its cover article for April talking about her prestige and powerful influence in the fashion industry. It’s a very rare interview since only few know her behind the pages of her fashion magazine.

She’s really a powerful person in America. This statement is also said by the editor of WSJ Deborah Needleman. As quoted by Jacobs in the article, “If I get a request for something, there aren’t two possible answers. First I get an email, then a phone call from someone at Vogue, and now I don’t even bother to say no—I know the next call is from her.”

Jacob is one of the people who benefited from Wintour’s influence. When Louis Vuiton was looking for a designer in 1997, she suggested Jacob’s name to the brand’s CEO.

But aside from that, there have been many fashion events launched by Wintour including the big event Fashion Night Out in 2009 and 2010 in New York. Despite the financial crisis, she persuaded stores to spend for parties. She managed to mix stores, celebrities and shoppers in an ultimate shopping night out and dig into their wallet despite the recession. With that, she basically created a holiday. According to Needleman “Who else has the power to take New York and create a holiday?”

Do you remember the movie “The Devil Wears Prada”? She is the inspiration behind the character Miranda Presley. She may be the Ice Queen but among her close friends including Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Oscar dela Renta, Nicole Kidman and many others, she can be warm and loyal. And a lot of people want to get into Wintour’s inner circle of friends.
