PAPERMAG: And the Award Goes to... PAPERMAG's Fashion's Night Out Awards

Forget the blizzard of '95, it was a veritable FNO storm (former PAPER managing editor Jon Durbin's words, not ours) last night as Fashion's Night Out took over the streets of New York. It was like New Year's Eve meets Halloween, as fashion-types and non-fashion types alike came out in droves and shopped, ogled and celebrity-sighted till they dropped. As for us? We flitted about, making the rounds from Madison Avenue to Bond Street, and after too little sleep, and one too-small iced coffee later, we present to you the best of the best of Fashion's Night Out.
