FAD Georgetown
The Council of Fashion Designers of America effectively canceled the famed Fashion Night Out,
so the fashionistas of Georgetown decided to take things into their own hands. Thus the
creation of FAD (Fashion Art Design) Georgetown, which give its own local spin to the Fashion
Night Out style events. Dozens of high fashion boutiques and mainstream couture have joined
together to bring fashion to the masses with unrivaled discounts. Boasting screenings of Jean
Luc-Godard films to events hosted by bloggers E of “District of Chic” and Krystin Hargrove of
“Be Loud Be You,” Georgetown seems to be brewing a new local tradition with FAD.
