The show was similar to the event’s predecessor, “Fashion Night Out”, also organized by Effie Loukas and held at the MET in 2011 and at NC Music Factory in 2010.  Fashion Night Out was created by CFDA and Vogue as a global event which began four years ago an in effort to encourage the community to support local boutiques and bring awareness to local businesses in a fashionable way.  With the DNC in town on September 6^th the date of Fashion Night Out, the event was moved to the following week and re-named Style Night Out to create an event unique to Charlotte.
