Menswear collections A/W 2011: Show invitations
Umit Benan's invite was printed on heavy board, where it told of the story of 27 year old investment banker Gienchi James and his daily routine...
Four different colours run through the colourful kaleidescope of the Raf Simons invitation, a feature which nicely continues onto the edging of the black cardboard, where each side appears in either red, green, orange, or purple.
Junya Watanabe Man used the simple concept of paper collage to great effect - three pieces of gloss, matte and textured card were individually printed, before being stuck together.
Maison Martin Margiela's minimalist invitation was a blank piece of writing paper with the show details, including our seat numbers, printed at the page's bottom in deceptively normal letterhead format.
Dior Homme's textured fabric envelope and white card invitation, which acted as the basis for special project director Nick Vinson's scribbled show notes.
