This book is a visual documentary that records the glamorous backstage of the fashion industry, "The Paris Collections Invitation Cards". It is an archive of invitations that decorated the Paris Collection from the 1990s to the early 2000s, and features a total of 429 invitations collected from the shows of 74 brands and designers over a period of about 10 years. Focusing on the fact that the seemingly ephemeral and disappearing pieces of paper of fashion show invitations are packed with artistic quality, information, and the aesthetics of the brand, the book delves deeply into the intersection of graphic design and fashion culture. Invitations from famous fashion houses such as Comme des Garçons and Chanel are so sophisticated that they can be considered works of art in themselves, and are valuable documents that symbolize the world view of each brand and the atmosphere of the era. This book is a historical document of fashion, and at the same time, it reaffirms the appeal of message expression through paper media.
