Fashion designer Kenneth Cole is known for sending fun fashion show invitations, and his latest was fun without being overly extravagant. In the form of a flip-book with chunky metal bolts for binding, the invite shows a scuffle for a coveted seat at Cole's show at the tents in Bryant Park. As the cover warns: "If you thought some of our past shows were controversial, hold on to your seat." The black and white photos start out innocently enough, as a guest makes her way to an open seat. But then she gets bumped and jabbed out of the way, and the proud conqueror sits confidently awaiting the show. It closes simply with "Fashion: It's in-tents!"
