Vogue Australia and American Express have come together for the seventh consecutive year for a fashion and retail event, Vogue American Express Fashion’s Night Out 2022.
This year, Australia’s biggest annual retail event Vogue American Express Fashion’s Night Out will return to the Sydney and Melbourne CBDs with 10 days of activity from October 14 to 23 and a one-day-only event activation in each city – featuring live runways, exclusive shopping offers, giveaways, entertainment and in-store experiences.
The Melbourne live event will take place on Friday October 14 as part of Melbourne Fashion Week, in partnership with the City of Melbourne.
The Sydney event will be live on Thursday October 20 in partnership with the City of Sydney, with the special Vogue American Express Runway coming to Pitt Street Mall.
Edwina McCann, Vogue Australia’s editor-in-chief, said: “We’re really excited to be returning to in-person events this year and can’t wait to see the Melbourne and Sydney CBDs come to life. Our timing has also been revised to launch in October to further support retailers with the launch of spring/summer collections and the beginning of the Christmas trading period.
“We are delighted to have our partner American Express with us again this year. Their backing ensures we connect our audiences with participating retailers and Australian designers. We will work together to deliver a fantastic festival that encourages spending to invigorate the retail and fashion industry.”
