FNO RECAP: MANI'S AT CHANEL

Thursday night Soho Chanel hosted it's annual Fashion's Night Out manicure bar. Four single manicure stations were set up in the middle of the store, while the remainder of the store was open for people to browse and shop. Attractive men in black (tie included) carrying shiny black trays of iced tea and water greeted shoppers at the front of the store.

 

Music played softly in the background while manicure coordinators walked around signing people up for their manicure time slots. The importance of adhering to appointment times could not be stressed enough. One coordinator sternly told one customer, "If you are late by even one second, your appointment is forfeited. Be at your station five minutes early."

Professional manicurists from Prive Salon in Soho were hired for the event. Everyone seemed to be requesting Les Jeans de Chanel. Some people skipped the manicure stations and headed straight for the register to purchase the collection. Each bottle of "Blue Rebel," "Coco Blue," and "Blue Boy" would only set them back $29, while regular colors cost $25.—Katherine Park

JASON WU DOLLS



Last night at Fashion's Night Out Jason Wu was at Bergdorf Goodman autographing the dolls he created exclusively for the evening. Wu's been designing doll clothes since age 10, when his mother bought him his first sewing machine. "I started making clothes for dolls because I didn’t have enough fabric — I didn’t have the resources to make a whole outfit," he told us. "And that’s how I learned patternmaking. I thought that was a really good tribute to how I came to be in fashion, by doing a miniature version of my design."

They come dressed in Wu's 2011 collection and are priced at $150 a piece. Wu sees this as a chance to make his designs more accessible. "I feel like there are so many young kids and students coming to Fashion’s Night Out. It’s great to have something that’s affordable for them to take home."
