It used to be, if you were getting drafted for the military or headed into the wilderness, you would leave with a stack of survival cards. These cards, often coated in durable plastic, would illustrate trap and snare diagrams and come with instructions on how to purify drinking water or survive an avalanche—all very necessary if you're weathering harsh conditions.
OK, so—by no means are we comparing New York Fashion Week (which starts tomorrow) to a longish camping expedition, but it can get pretty funky out there. Even for that second-row editor who is on her umpteenth "kiss kiss" and nimbly maneuvers Lincoln Center down to Milk like she's working her own private grid and incessantly posts to Instagram or Twitter or Facebook, and doesn't stop for a bite of food, just a few sharp inhales of calorie-free air—the next nine days will be a bit of a bender.
To the rescue: Opening Ceremony's NYFW Survival Cards. Designed by the French-born, London-based graphic designer Jean Jullien, this is our take on keeping calm despite the elements. The first on deck—"Pack Snacks"—features OC's checkered Izzy bag and a big ol' pizza, a not-so-subtle reminder to snub out that cigarette and stash something to eat between shows. This writer likes Haribo Ginger-Lemon gummies and raw cashews, in (sometimes) equal measure.
Print these cards out, save 'em on your iPhone, and see you in playland (hopefully not in Standing).![]()
