Easton Fashion Night Celebrates Style in the Heart of Ohio

Instead of traveling more than 500 miles to walk the vaunted New York Fashion Week's red carpet, why not traipse a pink one closer to home?

New York's big showdown of the hottest trends is Sept. 4 through 11, but locals can get in on the action at Easton Fashion Night (previously Fashion's Night Out) from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 18.

Cheers to New York's biggest sartorial season from the comfort of Columbus: An hour before the event starts, the shopping complex's restaurants neighboring the fountain, like Smith & Wollensky and Bon Vie Bistro, will offer happy-hour specials.

Easton's popular pink carpet will be back, so stop by for a photo and visit the Capital Style and CMH Fashion Week booths for more information on style in the heart of Ohio.

Roaming models will provide the inside scoop on what's trending for fall and how to style the latest looks. Stylists from Wardrobe Therapy will help you put your best face-and well-heeled foot-forward in the new season at their 5 Minute Makeover booth.

And, of course, Easton's fashion mainstays will have plenty of styles available for purchase. (Read more about the history and legacy of Easton in this Capital Style story.) Let the fall closet curating commence. eastontowncenter.com
