Fashion's Night Out

Seacoast fashionistas need go no further than downtown Portsmouth to find the most up-to-the-minute wearables in the world. Tonight Portsmouth shops invite style lovers to an international fashion extravaganza. Participating shops are offering unique events, including free instruction on creating flower arrangements and scarf tying, the launch of a new clothes line, fashions made from non-traditional materials like flowers and paper, and models wearing Celtic kilts and elegant Escama prototypes. Escama will also be featured in the FNO celebrations in New York City. Trunk sales, door prizes, glitzy and locally designed fashions and fabulous local photography will all be part of this shopping extravaganza. Need a break during your shopping marathon? A reflexologist and refreshments - from Irish Coffee to fudge, cookies, wine and cheese - are nearby in sponsoring shops. One of our historic homes will be open for a fashion show tableau of dresses and accessories from their collection. The Portsmouth shops are rolling out the red carpets for the evening's shoppers.

Visit www.FashionsNightOutPortsmouth.com for a listing of all the shops and events. The capstone of the evening is a showing of the fashion movie, Bill Cunningham New York, at the Music Hall Loft at 9 p.m. This 'deeply moving, visually stunning' (San Francisco Chronicle) movie about famous fashion photographer Cunningham, was shown last year at The Music Hall to sold-out crowds, and will be brought back as part of Fashion's Night Out.     Participating shops include Paradiza, Puttin' on the Glitz, Celtic Crossing , Fa La Lo, The Flower Kiosk, JL Coombs, Gus and Ruby Letterpress. Moffatt-Ladd House and more. Sign up in participating shops to win prizes in a Fashion's Night Out raffle, including $50 gift certificates, a two-hour in-home wardrobe consultation, and merchandise. The winner will be announced on Friday, September 9th.
