In celebration of Shalimar's 85th anniversary, Guerlain has partnered with
renown designer Jade Jagger to create a new bottle for Shalimar Eau de
Parfum. An icon of rock and roll royalty, Jade is an inveterate
globetrotter who personifies modern glamour. Her design work has spanned
jewelry, furniture and interiors and now she brings her inimitable style to
Guerlain's iconic fragrance. And if you head over to Saks Fifth Avenue on Fashion's Night Out, you can meet the style icon and have her sign your Shalimar Eau de Parfum bottle.

When: September 10th, 2010 - 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM

As another exclusive offer at Saks Fifth Avenue for Fashion's Night Out, Guerlain will have twenty limited edition Shalimar Parfum bottles, designed by Jade Jagger. These 20ml Shalimar Parfums will retail for $1,500
and are part of a collection of only 182 pieces in existence worldwide, representing the 182nd anniversary of the Maison Guerlain. Jade has decorated these bottles with a majestic sapphire on the neck of the bottle,
a jewel set in gold and discreetly engraved with the "G" of the Maison Guerlain. The sapphire is set on a black and gold silk cord, which was tied and sealed by hand by the Guerlain "ladies of the table" and can be detached and worn as a pendant. Fashion's Night Out could be the only chance to purchase this limited edition parfum bottle in the U.S.!

Fashion's Night Out: Josie Maran at Sephora

While Fashion's Night Out was such a huge success last year, this year promises to be even better. Now beauty companies are joining in the celebrations. This year, Josie Maran is flying to the East Coast to participate in the festivities at the Sephora 5th Avenue boutique. From 7-9 PM Josie Maran, former supermodel and founder of Josie Maran Cosmetics, will be hosting her own in-store photo shoot, giving consumers mini-makeovers and pointers on how to pose like a pro before they step in front of the camera. You'll get the chance to experience her wonderful line of pure, natural cosmetics and enter the mini photo studio, where you can take a picture and walk away with a signed copy of your best shot with Josie. The first 100 consumers who make a purchase that evening will receive a limited edition, created specifically for FNO, Argan Oil Color Stick in Cherry Popsicle. Be one of the first to try this amazing new item as the Argan Oil Color Stick doesn’t officially launch until 2011. If that's not a beauty coup, I don't know what is.
