God, this looks AMAZING. It kills me that I won’t be there!
I always wish you could make it!
Sooooo excited! Can’t believe I’m going to miss the morning festivities!
It’ll be great to see you
I so wish this was in London so I could come- sounds like such a good day.
Florrie x
One day!
Oh it sounds like another fabulous one! So sad I’m even further from NYC this year. Will enjoy the coverage.
Woohoo! What an amazing line-up! Can’t wait to see everyone!
So excited! I will definitely be there this year!
Yay!
Me too! So excited.
I wish this was on the weekend. Prays my boss lets me off
Its really looking amazing…I will also be there.
Oh! Congrats on the second year!
I wish I could make it but I’m stuck in San Francisco.
Wish I could be there too!
NYC is too far sometimes… (Actually JetBlue has direct flights from here to there, but that still begs questions of where to stay, etc. My NYC friends moved back down here!)
This looks amazing yet again! Makes me wish I hadnt just taken a bunch of time off so I could go to this!
You don’t know how exciting this is for me!!! I’m putting in my request for the day off now (fingers crossed my boss approves). I saw pictures from last year and it would so much fun to be apart of the festivities this year.
whewww hewww im so hype cant wait to be there
check out my blog unmarked habit xoxo
Making plans to be there!
Sounds like terrific seminars happening & a great way for bloggers to connect. Wish the conference wasn’t so far away ;(
I just bought my ticket and couldn’t be more excited!
Darn…wish I could be there…IF I get to NYC this season it’ll be after FNO…
Now this is the announcement I’ve been waiting for. I booked my trip to New York in February, hoping that this would be scheduled during the same week. Yay! Is anyone else going to be at Fashion’s Night Out: The Show on the 7th?
Sounds like a terrific event. I hope to be there to learn some tips!
I am going to try my hardest to attend this. Fingers crossed.
Okay, I am going to be there! Eeeeee!
It’s times like these I hate that I live in Texas. Grr!! Want to go SO BAD! I feel like you are my friends and it’s awkward that we haven’t met in person yet. LOL
I am attending! Any bloggers interested in a blogger meet up? I am so excited for this seminar.
XO.

this is happening on my birthday but i guess this would be a great way to spend it. count me in!!!
jp
Seriously contemplating jumping in my car and heading down for a couple of days…I need my NY fix and this is the perfect reason to make the trip!
so excited about Fashion Weeks in September!
UGH I hate not being able to be there :’(
This looks really cool!!! I would really like to go….but I’m only a freshman in high school…would I be too young? Is there anyone else attending who is 14 or 15?
You definitely wouldn’t be too young! Come if you can!
wish i could be there
you guys should offer online classes and seminars!
Its sounds fun and interesting. Wish I didn’t live on the opposite side of the hemisphere cause I’d be there in a heartbeat!!
SO BUMMED I can’t make it this year
I’ll be there–I always learn and have fun at IFB events!
Thanks for the email invite!! it kills me that I won’t be there! I’m from Malaysia and all that’s keeping me from hopping over on a flight to NY is my work commitments. =(
I’d definitely be there next year though!! Keep me in mind! =)
Will you be having another one in Feb? Fingers crossed!
I want to go so bad, it would be my first event as a blogger! But I have to work…but maybe they won’t need me and I can go last minute…unlikely :/
I really wish I could go to this! I think it would be really interesting and helpful. I’ve reached such a lull in my blogging! I hate that I have to go to work that week b/c its like I have this job to support myself but it means I can’t go to fashion week for my passion! UGH!
Oh well! I hope you guys have a great time!
this sounds amazing
I love New York and I would love to attend, but unfortunately I live in Belgium
Damn! It sounds like a really great day.
Great lineup and and list of topics- would love to be there if I wasn’t going to be in NYC in Oct.
I REALLY REALLY wish I could go! It sound so amazing, but probably not until next year!!
I will be checking in to the Hudson for NYFW that night! So sad will miss it. All the best! x
I want to be there!!!1 Can you not move the whole thing to Spain please?
I ma so happy to say I am going to be attending this year!
I am having a party in soho for the launch of my new site http://www.fashionisgreat.com the day after the conference . I would love for everyone to attend, even if you can’t make it to the conference!
So I am really interested in going – Is there anywhere where I can read about past events? Is this the first event of its kind? Please e-mail me more info! Thanks
check out the videos from the last event.

Even though I don’t blog about fashion I can NOT miss this!
WOW!! what an amazing line up! sad i wont get to NYC until friday morning but might have to make it happen! worth the try!
I was so excited to go this year, and now I find out it’s on Rosh Hashanah.
Does this effect anyone else? I’m not even religious, but it’s just one of those days my family won’t let me off the hook. So bummed!
Hi, i’m lithuanian fashion blogger who just moved to the US and dont know anyone in New York. Would anybody be interested in cooperating for this trip and conference? For couple crazy days:)
