Artist Gill Button Creates 1,200 Handmade Invitations for Dries Van Noten’s Show

With the popularity of e-vites, receiving an actual invitation becomes a bit of a treat. But designer Dries Van Noten wants to kicks it up a notch by having all 1,200 invitations to his latest autumn/winter show handmade by artist Gill Button.

A big thanks to the glorious @driesvannoten for letting me loose on his AW 16/17 show invitations – over 1000 of them!🙈 #driesvannoten #dvn #pfw
