Your guide to what’s happening on a night of high fashion
Vogue’s Fashion’s Night Out is the ultimate shopping extravaganza. The UK event is normally held in London – but this year it’s coming to Manchester!
So put Thursday 10th October in your diary and start planning your outfit!

Here’s a map from Vogue (available at stores across the city centre) showing who and where FNO fun is happening.

There is so much going on during the evening, we asked fashion fan Victoria to put together an A-Z Guide to help you glamorously enjoy all that the city has to offer.
Over to you Victoria ……

Fashion’s Night Out hosted by Vogue is a shopaholic’s dream.
With over 30 events already confirmed, it’s enough to send you into a shopping spree induced coma.
Even just writing this article has sent me a bit woozy and made it even harder than usual
to resist the temptation that comes with the devil that is online shopping.

Well it is the best excuse you’re ever going to get to buy a new outfit to impress.
Stretching from Spinningfields, right across to Manchester’s Arndale Centre, designer and high street shops aplenty are offering something unique and special for FNO visitors.
I hope that our A-Z breakdown will make it a little easier to comprehend. All that’s left for me to say is that I look forward to seeing you in your glad rags for the most glamorous shopping expedition of your lives.
Agent Provocateur
There will be cocktails, champagne and canapés, a ‘special guest’ DJ, prize draws and goodie bags for all customers. In addition there will be models in the window showcasing the Agent Provocateur AW13 collection from 6.30 to 9pm.

Lounge around with champagne in hand. DJ to be confirmed.
