Fashion Night Out in Indianapolis

Sara — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 12:28:58 +0000

This Thursday, Indianapolis will celebrate Fashion Night Out, locally hosted by Pattern Indy. What’s special about this year is that Mayor Ballard has endorsed the event and registered the city as a participant with the New York-based organization. As a local fashion company that has stayed true to the community, we’re excited to participate and share the fun with you!

Fashion Night Out

Fashion Night Out is a global initiative that started in 2009 to celebrate fashion, restore consumer confidence, and boost the industry’s economy during the recession. This program is a collaboration between American Vogue, the Council of Fashion’s Designers of America, NYC & Company, and the City of New York.

The up-and-coming fashion magazine Pattern Indy is spearheading the Indianapolis events. No Bad Ideas was interviewed by Jeremiah Williams, men’s fashion editor and executive editor of Social Club 19.

No Bad Ideas will present a short introduction about the brand to local fashion bloggers in the Social Media Lounge inside the Arts Garden in Circle Center Mall. We’re very excited to be part of this global initiative and we can’t wait to share No Bad Ideas with everyone! For more information, view the clip from Indy Style or check out Pattern Indy‘s website.
