Fashion parties are happening in most every all over L.A.
Westfield Topanga and Wesfield Sherman Oaks are the the top spots in the 818 for Fashion’s Night Out (FNO) on Thursday, September 6, along with select stores in Studio City.
The San Fernando Valley joins Los Angeles, New York City and other national and international cities for this one evening affair that originated four years ago in New York.

Department stores and boutiques will have special promotions and giveaways.
Outside of the 818, fashion block parties will include celebrity and designer appearances at various shopping districts, including Melrose Ave., South Robertson Blvd., West Third Street, Abbot Kinney, Los Feliz, Downtown Los Angeles, Westfield Century City, The Grove, The Americana at Brand and the Beverly Center. Check out all the FNO events in Los Angeles here . Or get the scoop on some of the best block parties over the hill courtesy of Racked LA,
