The art of the invitation is one that’s hard to master. Whether the event is a Mardi Gras–themed party, Valentine’s Day dinner, or St. Patrick’s Day bash, the festivities begin on arrival with a request for presence, offering a sneak peek of what’s to come without spoiling the mystery. New York Fashion Week is no different. For weeks, speculation has been under way as designers offered hints about what might inspire their fashion week showings. With the event upon us, the invitations have all been sent, and designers like Tommy Hilfiger highlighted a particular theme, while others, like Kanye West and Saint Laurent, stuck to a minimalistic aesthetic. We’ve rounded up the most creative invitations we’ve seen this season.
