There was music, food, alcohol, contests, giveaways, and, of course, discounts, all intended to draw shoppers out of their shells. The events, held the night before the start of New York Fashion Week, turned Manhattan into a block party albeit one where guests carried Derek Lam clutches instead of coolers and made the ultra-coveted spring/summer collections being shown on runways across the city accessible to the masses.
