** FASHION ICON: WSJ magazine profiles VOGUE editrix Anna Wintour. She's made Fashion Night Out a national retail holiday; she is always perfecting her forehand; she is responsible for making fashion celebrity-driven (the numerous covers with those gross Hollywood snatches, ICK!!). Fashion’s Night Out was a Mardi Gras moment in the middle of Lent. Overall foot traffic in New York City stores increased almost 50 percent, according to the research firm ShopperTrak. While other post-event reports suggested there was more ogling than spending, the overall verdict was resoundingly favorable. “Maybe you can’t really put a figure on Wintour’s economic impact, but it’s a very big number,” Lundgren says, adding that Macy’s sales, which had been down 4 to 5 percent, rose into “double digits” the weekend after FNO. “It was the first shot in the arm we had seen that year.”
