We used to love comparing all the Fashion Week invitations that come in right before the big Month, but that’s gotten a lot harder this season because of one tiny detail – A lot of designers aren’t sending out invitations in the mail anymore.
So far, Behnaz Sarafpour, Costello Tagliapietra and (our usual invite favorite – at left is their Spring 09) Band of Outsiders have all opted for e-mail only invitations this season, surely a sign of the economic times but also what the upcoming Fashion Week is looking like (fewer parties and cardstock invitations – probably less drink.)
On the bright side, this could be taken as an exercise in green – we’re just waiting for a clever e-vite, and then we’ll believe that’s the case.
