Makeup at Chanel, macaroons at Lanvin and enough paper invites to to block up your mail box in a matter of seconds; It must be fashion week. Of course not all invites are in paper form as many designers opt for digital invites via email and agency's such as KCD. London predominately comes in the form of various paper and cardboard designs which can vary from plain and simple to the 3D butterfly design seen at the AW13 Mulberry show. Of course this wasn't the same this season as they are missing London fashion week this year.
Lanvin show their AW14 collection today and a couple of season ago they gave out macaroons in an beautiful Alber Elbaz illustrated box which of course were delicious and last season Mulberry sent out a tiny package with a miniature Wedgwood cup and saucer which was unbearably cute.
Chanel of course are the very best and these typically come in the form of thick white envelopes with beautiful hand written addresses and names. Of course it's always nice to receive ones of these but the main thing that people want to get their hands on are the gifts given out at the show. AW13 was in the form of makeup with a nail varnish, 4 eye shadow palette and two lipsticks. There really was something for everyone in this package and the nude lipstick is so subtle and so beautiful. I will go into detail about this show in my next post which will post on the 4th along with an Alexander McQueen post.
