Fashion’s Night Out, Neiman Marcus Style

Style and fun made a sizzling combo at the Fashion’s Night Out event at Neiman Marcus. On Sept. 6, fashion lovers gathered for an evening of designer meet-and-greets, runway shows and beauty demonstrations at Neiman Marcus in Scottsdale Fashion Square.

Frocks displayed in trunk shows included YSL, Valentino and Alice & Olivia. Oday Shakar and John Ross Palmer mingled and giggled with attendees as they enjoyed Neiman’s Fall Trends runway show, and the “Project Ruff-way” Dog Fashion Show supporting the Arizona Animal Welfare League and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Doggie wine and cheese were provided, compliments of il Vinaio Wines.

Alison Johnson and Dolce are among the three Project Ruff-way winners. 

Little Black Dress Wines celebrated the women’s wardrobe staple with the LBD Challenge, where participants voted on iPads to select their favorite dress sketch created by emerging designers. The winning sketch will be on display during Phoenix Fashion Week in October. The night culminated at the Saguaro Scottsdale for an after party featuring champagne and complimentary mini-manicures provided by Teres Nail Bar.
