Cliff Notes of this recent Fashion's Night Out 2012 in both LA & NY

 By Laura Medina

If you were stuck in either New York or Los Angeles, you can take a peek at how the other coast party down on Fashion's Night out.

If you were too lazy to take advantage of this generous evening...shame on you!  Too bad, you will have to wait another year to jump on them.

Perhaps, for now on, you will have to make do on these recaps coast-to-coast.

 Yes...Bravo's Kardashian clan is currently ruling the fashion roost.

Here is the head Kardashian, Kim Kardashian hosting Lord & Taylor's Fashion's Night Out in Manhattan while at the same time...



 Mom Kardashian aka Kris Kardashian held court at Los Angeles' official headquarter for that city's Fashion's Night Out at the Beverly Center Mall.

Second generation "Kardashian," and this year Fashion's Night Out Los Angeles' spokemodel, Kendall Jenner, held court with mom and sister, Kylie.  She was also one of the three hosts for Fashion's Night Out Los Angeles.






On Los Angeles' biggest and official runway/stage at the Beverly Center, Vogue's West Coast Editor, Lisa Love, was escorted by Lucy Hale on the left and Kendall on the right, hosting that night's longest runway show.


Not to be out /done or be forgotten, Fred Segal/Ron Robinson on Melrose was the first to celebrate Fashion's Night Out, a year before the Beverly Center.

Whereas the Beverly Center was a big media event for all the world to see, Fred Segal/Ron Robinson on Melrose was just as equally "star-wattage" but retained it's neighborhood-friendliness roots.  It was a party for the locals and the loyal customers and the fans.  From the smooth-surf vibe of a beach-pop live band to the mandatory DJ, their FNO was an early Christmas gift, a communal gathering.


Where the Beverly Center had all the big stars, Fred Segal/Ron Robinson still focused on the emerging stars...in fashion, home decor, and beauty, the ones that made the boutique famous in the first place.

The neighborhood was sharing the love when Ron Robinson Apothia invited Jean of Evolue to introduce RMS, a multi-purpose, healthy organic cosmetic line on Fashion's Night Out to fashionistas on their way to New York Fashion Week.

Some of the Beverly Center/Fred Segal-Ron Robinson guests wandered over onto Paul Frank's Fashion's Night Out Pow-Wow, a Southwestern art gallery where Paul Frank the Monkey was re-done in a Native American way.

Folks were really getting into the candy bar after walking up and down Melrose Avenue.

At the same Lord & Taylor party on the night at the same time, Tim Gunn held the fort with "Project Runway" alumni.
Sophia Robb relaxed by getting a manicure at Frederick Fekkai's Fashion's Night Out party, see there is more to FNO than just clothes.  You can get your nails, makeup, and hair do.

"Project Runway-Los Angeles" alumn, Gordana is finally enjoying the perks of her celebrity at the GBK lounge with fellow Bravo celebrities.

At the OK Magazine's FNO party, Ramona Singer of "Real Housewives of NY," added celebrity wattage.

West Coast-turned-New Yorker, Whitney Port did her FNO part for Nine West Shoes.

So, this is basically the highlights of Fashion's Night Out.

Fall is for fashion, so hold onto your hats and fedoras, there is more to come.
