The industry of Fashion, as you might presume, is plagued by pretty much the same kind of politics, opportunism, machinations, and bullshit as just about every other high-stakes form of capitalism in the world (including F&B, natch). So, far be it for us to advocate Anna Wintour‘s upcoming big annual whoopdedoo, Fashion’s Night Out. (Please, don’t even get us started…)
We would, however, like to strongly encourage you to do whatever the hells you please. Blind ignorance and stoic incomprehension is what fuels the economy after all! (♪♪ Got to have a J.O.B. if you wanna roll with me… ♪♪)
To that end, we bring news of a nice fusion (fooshion) between food and fashion (get it?) event for this momentous evening— namely:
The BondSt – Fashion Night Out Black Carnival
BEWITCHING HOUR BEGINS ON BOND STREET!
BONDST restaurant joins designers and friends including ROGAN, OAK, The Smile, Archetype Showroom & Hester Street Fair to be a part of the first annual Black Carnival, an outrageous neighborhood celebration sponsored by 42Below vodka in support of Fashion’s Night Out, on Friday, September 10, 2010. Between 6PM‐11PM, when all of New York’s most stylish denizens roam the city in search of fashion, fun and retail therapy, Bond Street between Bowery & Lafayette will be transformed into a celebration of the dark (& humorous) side of fashion – a carnival of black tents with games, music, cocktails and revelry. Noho friends and neighbors will all be present, providing unique experiences to be discovered up and down the street and throughout the dark bazaar. BONDST will set up in a tent in the carnival to sell Spicy Crispy Shrimp and Sushi Hand Rolls. The new Japanese restaurant will also stage a ring toss game with sake bottles. The prize for getting a ring on is a free drink in the BONDST lounge. 3 rings for $1 – come join us!
"A celebration of the dark (& humorous) side of fashion," ha ahaa. Awesome! How can you resist?!

Fierce. I just want to commend you on this new aggressive marketing stance you’ve been taking lately Abbs. It’s only what I’ve been saying the whole time. ;)
