For one night only, dozens of stores throughout New York City will stay open late as a way to promote local retail and benefit the economy.
Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and other fashionistas joined Mayor Michael Bloomberg at City Hall on Wednesday to announce the event called Fashion's Night Out.
Fashion designer Vera Wang said that shopping can be a way for people to express their creativity and give a boost to the economy.
On Sept. 10, the first night of Fashion Week, retailers are being asked to stay open until 11 p.m. and throw parties with shopping incentives and promotions. Nearly 100 stores have already signed up.
