Repost: We posted this a little too soon yesterday, because now Subports just posted a catalog of some of the awesome contributions. A few edits made below, and preview images follow. For a catalog, text "?NFPFNO" to 767825 (PORTAL).

Fashion's Night Out is tonight in New York City, when boutiques stay open late to celebrate and showcase clothing made by professional designers, but, the most exciting event we've heard of so far features the work of amateurs. The Non Fashion People's Fashion Night Out, produced by Subports, Vena Cava, and Partners and Spade, is an exhibition of garments designed by anybody but fashion designers.

On the list: elephants, a wallpaper designer, a metal fabricator, the internet, a candlemaker, a kite, an insurance claims adjuster, a garden artist, two different lawyers, a boardgame designer, and various other people sort of like you.

Pictured above, Slag Hammer by Dustin John, metal fabricator.

The garments will available for sale by text message, with all proceeds benefitting the Ali Fornay Center. One night only, at Partners & Spade.
