Unless you’re already a celebrity, how often do you get a chance to spend a Friday night walking across the red carpet on your way into a private VIP lounge to have a glass of bubbly?  Or discuss rock n’ roll inspired fashion with other influential women that come from a wide variety of industries?

My guess is not very often, which is exactly why coming to Fashion’s Night Out on September 10th in Beverly Hills, CA at Sak’s Fifth Avenue will be a night to remember (…or not to remember if you drink too much bubbly!).

As if the details above aren’t enough to make FNO a memorable night, there will also be opportunities for attendees to enjoy rock icon makeovers and receive backstage style tips from our resident fashionistas.  Further, you get 15% off any purchase and 5% of sales benefit Dress for Success, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing women with professional attire to thrive in work and life.

But wait…there’s more!  Spend $500 or more on Chloe merchandise and let their artist commemorate your new look with a one of a kind sketch in your new outfit.  The French fashion label offers luxurious style, accessories, fragrances, handbags, shoes, and more.

Why so much awesome in one night?

September 10th marks the first evening of New York Fashion Week, So, retailers across the world are celebrating by staying open late and hosting in-store events.  FNO was created to help retailers during a tough economy and encourage spending while connecting everything to a great cause.

So come out, splurge, and get pampered!  It’s the perfect opportunity to get your wardrobe and look ready for the fall and winter seasons.  And don’t worry, nobody leaves empty handed.  Every attendee will receive a swag bag, filled with freebies and goodies from our sponsors and promotional partners.

With the success of the Girls in Tech Incubator series that began in San Francisco, it was time to bring it to Los Angeles. Our Incubator events highlight either a young, female entrepreneur and their company or a web company specifically focused on women.

Our first-ever Incubator event for LA will feature Closetcouture.com and it’s Founder, Chris Elia. Closet Couture is a social and fashion utility that connects people of stylish minds with those who live or work around them. CC users manage their wardrobes online, define and refine their personal style, get help if needed, upload unlimited photos, share links and videos, and create their own style cabinet made up of the best and the brightest. Chris started ClosetCouture.com to solve the problem of never having anything to wear despite a brimming closet. Closetcouture.com was named one of TechCrunch50′s best startups last year.

Come and join us as we learn about how Closetcouture.com came to be and Chris’ journey in developing her company. We will also discuss the ins and outs of developing a startup, how to use all the various social media sites to promote your brand or business, and when it’s the right time to go for funding. The event will be held at Blankspaces, LA’s #1 Co-working office space, on Tuesday, February 24th at 6:30PM. Please get your ticket at http://girlsintechlastartupsavvy.eventbrite.com/.
