Invitations to fashion shows during the big week often start to tell the story of the collections before you get to them. Take the lush fleur-de-lis pattern on Nicole Miller’s mustardy green card– we’ll be expecting to see some of that on her pretty dresses. Or Donna Karan’s streamlined horizontal invite for DKNY – a dark black ground shot with neon fuchsia…we predict some serious pops of color.
Then, of course, there’s Kimora Lee Simmons’ Baby Phat invite…a gigantic paper ring made up of dozens of diamonds, because that’s one lady who believes that fashion don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got that bling.
