As the Spring/Summer 2014 fashion season approached, designers and fashion houses were not only preparing their collections but also crafting unique and captivating invitations to their runway shows. These invitations served as a prelude to the creativity and innovation that would be showcased on the catwalks.
Among the standout invitations was Fendi’s abstract layers, featuring a gradient effect in varying shades of pink. Dries Van Noten opted for a delicate gold leaf design, using negative space to distinguish between the men’s and women’s collections.
Saint Laurent embraced a complete rebranding under new creative director Hedi Slimane, introducing an art booklet featuring the works of Guy de Cointet. Antonio Marras presented a whimsical pop-up invitation inspired by nature, while Kenzo’s ocean-conscious collection was reflected in textured 3D waves on their invite.
Prada’s invitation, part of the ‘In the Heart of the Multitude’ project, showcased works by various artists exploring themes of femininity and power. Chloé’s golden embossed ticket exuded elegance, while Givenchy included a limited-edition print with their invites.
From Salvatore Ferragamo’s matte finish to Topshop Unique’s use of polished steel, each invitation was a work of art in itself. Acne Studios’ invitation for the opening of its Paris store featured a vintage polka dot theme, adding a touch of whimsy.
Designers like Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel played with textures and finishes to create invitations that mirrored the themes of their collections. Paul Smith’s houndstooth pattern and Miu Miu’s cloth label adorned invites added unique touches.
Stella McCartney surprised guests with green googly-eye rings attached to her invitations, while Burberry Prorsum’s laser-cut pop-up invite showcased London landmarks. Jil Sander’s minimalist aesthetic was reflected in their robust card design.
