Old masters: Burberry and Off-White bought a touch of classicism to its fashion week correspondence. Burberry, whose February 2017 collection looked to the work of Henry Moore, nodded to the sculptor with a show invitation made from engraved stone. Off-White’s Virgil Abloh added a cartoonish curly moustache to the Mona Lisa, while a tongue-in-cheek ‘Nothing New’ slogan poked fun at the seasonal fashion cycle. Photography: Aylin Bayhan

Ode to orange: The boldest colour trend of the season was vibrant orange. For Raf Simons’ debut collection as chief creative officer of Calvin Klein, the mounted invite design featured a graphic orange stripe that bore the brand’s new Peter Saville-designed logo. Haider Ackermann added a painterly metallic brushstroke of the shade to its design, while AREA’s orange incarnation had a reflective beveled edge

Box fresh: Prada’s invitation, complete with an italicised handwritten message written on paper, arrived in an embossed, fabric gift box. Its deep red colour echoed the retro hues presented in the brand’s A/W 2017 women’s collection and its AMO-designed showspace

Team work: Loewe’s creative director Jonathan Anderson teamed up with graphic design studio and regular collaborators M/M Paris and photographer Jamie Hawkesworth on an invitation featuring a fold-out poster and miniature book

Turn of the century: In celebration of its 100th show, Dries Van Noten created a graphic booklet of its archive prints. Overlaid with colourful, geometric shapes, the vivid shades and abstract patterns served as emblems of the brand’s expansive fabric heritage. Archive prints also featured throughout its A/W 2017 women’s collection

Water sports: Stella McCartney and Prism were preoccupied with playthings. A neon pink tube from Stella McCartney housed bright green water balloons – a playful invitation from the designer to get wet and wild. Like the blizzards in New York at the time, Prism’s snow globe shook up a snowstorm
