Fashion's Night Out at Oakbrook Center

Oakbrook Center will participate in the world’s ultimate fashion soirée during the 3^rd Annual Fashion’s Night Out.  On September 8, from 5 to 9 p.m., Oakbrook Center will join 16 countries and more than 100 cities nationwide in the highly-anticipated international fashion celebration that began in New York City in 2009.  Shoppers will be treated to a memorable evening with exclusive retailer offers, events, giveaways, entertainment and more.

Oakbrook Center is the quintessential fashion hub for shoppers, and this free event offers them the opportunity to participate in all the perks Fashion’s Night Out has to offer, including special giveaways and promotions. Shoppers will receive $20 Shop, Etc., gift cards for purchases of $100 or more at participating retailers when they redeem their receipts from the evening at the event lounge. Oakbrook Center also will give away 300 glam bags that include a signature red clutch and other gifts and offers while supplies last.

In addition, Oakbrook Center is partnering with Aspire, a leader in services for children and adults with developmental disabilities and their families, to raise money for the organization. Fashion’s Night Out shoppers who donate $5 to Aspire will receive an Aspire tee shirt. Aspire also will give away a $500 Shop, Etc., gift card as part of its Aspire Your Inner Fashionista contest. All proceeds from the event will benefit Aspire.

“Fashion’s Night Out provides fashionistas around the globe a chance to celebrate their love of fashion, shop and have fun.  Oakbrook Center wants to throw our savvy shoppers the best fashion party in Chicagoland,” said Suzanne Cook-Beres, senior marketing manager at Oakbrook Center. “The evening will be four hours of fashion, fun and camaraderie centered on style. Our retailers have the best fashions, we’re adding in the fun, and our shoppers can come and enjoy the party.”

Fashion's Night Out is an unprecedented global initiative created in 2009 in a partnership between American Vogue, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, NYC & Company, and the City of New York to celebrate fashion, restore consumer confidence, boost the industry's economy, and put the fun back in shopping. Since then the event has grown exponentially, expanding nationally in 2010 to more than 100 cities and globally into 17 countries.
