Organizers for Fashion's Night Out have set the dates for the fourth annual edition of the global shopping party.
All 19 territories that have their own version of Vogue will observe Fashion's Night Out this year, meaning there will be events in 19 countries spanning three weeks. Below, a breakdown of which nations will join the party, and when:
In past years, Fashion's Night Out in the US has been celebrated in more than one city at a time, and this year some other countries will follow suit. Italy, Germany, Russia, Mexico, Brazil, and Greece will all host parties in two or three style-obsessed cities — meaning there will be that many more opportunities to see fashion editors and industry folk doing things like this.

Anna Wintour kept the audience on The Colbert Report rolling in the aisles last night when she sat down to talk about the Costume Institute's new exhibit. When Wintour started lauding Miuccia Prada's work, host Stephen Colbert joked that he doesn't "really trust Prada. My understanding is, the devil wears Prada. And this is a Christian nation, Anna," he said.
To which Wintour could only reply, "That movie was so last year." Watch all of the hilarity below.
