The first Vogue's Fashion Night Out was launched in 2009 by Vogue's editor Anna Wintour. It was an incentive to encourage customers to start spending again and invest in beautiful pieces of clothing, whilst seeing the new A/W collections.

The event is now a fashion event which everyone waits for, year after, usually when New York Fashion Week kicks off. This year the event is being celebrated in eighteen countries and in many cities all over the world, from New York to Milan, to London and Paris.

Every year, designers decide to create limited edition items, where all or part of the proceeds go to charitable causes.

In NewYork, Vogue have designed the FNOT T-shirt which benefits the NY City Aids fund.
