VFNO a success

Vogue's Fashion Night Out was a huge success, with Bond Street and adjacent shopping areas turned into a pedestrian mecca for shoppers, sightseeing, parties and the fashion crowd.

Designer boutiques pulled out all stops, with many offering a gift with purchase or bepsoke Vogue Fashion Night Out t-shirts, where proceeds went to charity.

Stella McCartney, Anya Hindmarch, Etro, Burberry, Tommy Hilfiger, Armani, Mulberry, DKNY and the new Coach boutique all pulled in the heady shoppers, celebrities and A-listers, offering drinks, music and of course a very special shopping experience. The lack of traffic saw a fleet of designer vehicles, such as Hermès' orange Horsebox, Dior’s London Taxi, and a black Diptique Renault 4L. There was no shortage of celebrities either, and we spotted Erin O’Connor, Alexandra Shulman, Gywnnie, David Gandy and new X-Factor judge Tulisa at the Coach party.

The best, of course, was watching the people, as thousands stylish shoppers took to the streets to participate in the event to support the retail industry, which is now in its third year.
