Launched in cities here and abroad, and for the first time ever in D.C., FNO, a collaboration with Vogue and local sponsors, is designed to bring the fun back to shopping and celebrate each city’s unique style all on the same night.
Jim Bracco, Georgetown BID Executive Director said “I’m proud to be a part of this terrific event, and it’s great to see it in Georgetown, D.C.’s style district.”
One of the biggest and most exciting global fashion events to ever come to D.C., Georgetown’s FNO will bring together over 60 stores, restaurants, salons and spas for an evening full of special fashion events, promotions and extended shopping hours.
Performers from Cirque Du Soleil’s new production “Ovo” (opening September 9th at National Harbor) will be dazzling shoppers in Georgetown. Tickets to this production will be included in some of the signature eco-friendly FNO shopping bags available for a $10 purchase. Proceeds from the sale of the shopping bags will benefit Labels For Love, the charitable organization to protect women and children founded by Mary Amons (also star of "Real Housewives of D.C.”).
