Fashion's Night Out is now an annual event that was first created last year by Vogue, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, retailer NYC & Co. and the city of New York to help the NY economy through fashion.  It has spread to become a worldwide shopping and fashion extravaganza with designers, models, celebs, and fashionistas heading to events in Paris, Brazil, Los Angeles, South Korea, London and everywhere in between. 

This year's Fashion's Night Out on September 10 was bigger and better than ever.  NY's event included tons of stores open to the wee hours of the morning and a giant Fashion's Night Out fashion show at NY Fashion Week's new home at the Lincoln Center.  One hundred fifty models were on hand to preview new trends that will be appearing in the Vogue's September issue.

Clothing wasn't the only main event across the globe.  Diamonds and gems, too, had an epic showcasing from New York to London.  Here's what you may have missed in the diamond department:

Fifth Avenue's legendary boutique Henri Bendel offered a very limited-edition Swarovski-crystallized version of the official Fashion's Night Out tee, with 40 percent of proceeds for every t-shirt benefitting the NYC AIDS Fund.

At the big Fashion's Night Out fashion show at Lincoln Center, 22-year old model Coco Rocha wore looks by Monique Lhuillier and Louis Vuitton.  The Louis Vuitton ball gown was accompanied by diamond-encrusted heels. 

David Yurman celebrated with When A Stranger Calls actress Camilla Belle at his New York Townhouse on Madison Avenue.  The evening included cocktails, champagne, truffles hors d'oeuvres and gems galore! Camille Belle offered personal jewelry styling sessions and many had the chance to partake in a view of the luxurious limited edition David Yurman black pave diamond necklaces made exclusively for Fashion's Night Out!

The Tiffanys flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York was showing off their new Yellow Diamonds collection with models wearing the new line along with clothes by Oscar de la Renta. As DJ  Mark Ronson spun tunes.  Celebrity stylist Estee Stanley styled the models. 

Diamond retailer DeBeers in Miami hosted a special fundraiser in conjunction with Jill Viner for Fashion's Night Out to benefit Gene Spotlight at Bal Harbour Shops.  They launched a new Talisman Collection, which CEO Hamida Belkadi said captured Miami's glam, yet laid-back lifestyle.  The pieces are crafted in yellow or white 18 karat gold, set with a combination of rough and polished diamonds using a unique hand-crafted setting. 

The new Talisman collection was also showcased at DeBeers in London.  The new pendants were on display at the store on Bond Street.  The 600 white diamonds, multi-colored stones, and huge honey-colored center stone was a sight to behold!
