The biggest night in fashion returns as the Vogue Fashion Night Out is launched for 2012.From the best parties to the most exciting shopping extravaganzas, this year’s event is sure to be bigger and better than ever.

Vogue’s fourth annual Fashion Night Out returns this September, and it’s gone well and truly global with all 19 of the fashion bible’s territories getting involved, from here in the UK to the US, Russia to Korea.

The event sees a wealth of retailers both designer and high street, getting involved in the action from unique shopping experiences to parties, as well as exclusive launches from some of fashion’s best-loved brands.

British festivities will kick off in London on September 9, where iconic brand Mulberry and Vogue Editor Alexandra Shulman will co-host the official Fashion Night Out opening party. Sure to be a who’s who of the fashion world and have a guest list to rival any front row, we’re expecting the likes of fashion darlings Alexa Chung, Stella McCartney et al to be spotted.

This year’s official Fashion Night Out tee has been designed by one of our favourite Brit designers, Jonathan Saunders. Available to buy at Gap stores and online, the tee features one of Saunders’ signature graphic prints and is a snip at just £18. A proportion of the proceeds will go to domestic violence charity, Refuge.

Beauty brands are getting involved too, included in which are the likes of iconic French fashion and beauty house, Chanel. Creative Director of Make-Up for the brand, Peter Philips has created three new and exclusive Le Vernis nail colours for Fashion Night Out. Choose from Délicatesse – a dusky nude shade, Provocation – a vampy berry shade and the perfect pairing to this season’s purple trend, or Infidéle – a pretty, classic pink shade. Available at Chanel boutiques, these nail colours are the perfect way to celebrate Vogue’s Fashion Night Out, even if you’re staying in.

Vogue Fashion Night Out will take place on 6 September 2012.
