Thursday, September 6, 2012 is Fashion’s  Night Out around the world.  This year marks the event’s 4^th birthday and we’re lucky enough this year to have this amazing even in our hometown of Indianapolis! The website for Fashion Night Out boasts:

Join editors, stars, models, fashionistas, and designers on September 6, 2012, as they flood stores in cities across the country and around the world for fashion’s most iconic extravaganza.

Last year’s bash featured events in eighteen countries and more than 4,500 events here in the States. With special limited-edition products, celebrity appearances, and unforgettable performances, FNO 2012 is promising to be even bigger and better than before!

We’re lucky enough to attend all three major events hosted across the city brought by Pattern Indy and SocialClub19.  First stop will be a VIP reception at the Arts Garden in the Circle Center Mall.  Next we’ll spend some time at the Fashion Mall for some shopping and drinks.  After that we’ll head to the Indianapolis International Airport for the final reception.  The night will end at Blu for the after party to this amazing evening!

Fashion Night Out is meant to celebrate fashion and style, so follow us on Twitter with the hash tags #FNO #FNOindy #raannt as we run around celebrating all the fashion Indianapolis has to offer! We’ll show you the things we like –and those we don’t! All night long we’ll be Tweeting and giving a play by play of the events.  We’ll also be giving out a few fashion awards throughout the night, so make sure to follow us on Twitter @theboysofraannt and on Facebook at raannt to keep up with all of our antics!

We’re sadly kissing summer good bye, but excited to open up our wardrobes to the millions of items this fall season brings. The colors of spring and summer stay strong throughout fall, however, this time they’re a bit matted, darker, and not as bright.

The Burgundies this fall are perfect for accent pieces.  Match it with a mute or neutral color for more excitement or even with a bright summer color.  The versatility of the color burgundy is perfect for all occasions: from work to dinner or from class to a night out.

Beige is the perfect neutral color for fall.  This color can be paired with everything and for any occasion.  A pair of dark denim jeans with a beige bulky sweater is perfect for a walk through a pumpkin patch or a coffee date in the middle of the afternoon.  Playfully match your beige pieces with bright colors or other fall hues for an ideal fall look.

Green can be the perfect companion to every color this fall.  The military tone of green allows for your outfits to be more playful but still professional and well put together.  It’s darkness lets you still pair it with some bright colors for your day off or some equally dark colors for when you have to spend your day inside.

Yellow is definitely an accent color this fall; especially mustard yellow.  This accent hue goes well with colors like burgundy, navy blue, dark denim and grey.  Remember to think carefully about using this color, as it can be too loud sometimes, especially for important events (work meetings, school presentation or speeches).

You can never go wrong with navy blue.  The color is exceptionally versatile, classic, and still playful enough for casual occasions. Muted,  it can be worn with pretty much anything.

Alexander McQueen changed the face of fashion more than a few times.  First he made his mark on the history of fashion with his incredible sense of revolutionary designs and awe inspiring uniqueness.  Fashion history changed again with his death and what some thought would be the death of his creative spirit. No more McQueen meant going back to what fashion was before him. But thanks to the creative minds of his team and close coworkers he left behind a fashion legacy with the ability to survive and prosper. This fall we’re introduced to a great line: playful, polished, extravagant, pushing the boundaries of what fashion is and allowing men, the modern men, to really express their ability to look impeccably untouchable. True to the nature of Alexander McQueen…it is absolutely amazing and unforgettable!
