The invite to the show came in the form of a 12-inch vinyl record, with each side featuring one of the artists reciting poetry. On the A side, Florence reads a passage from William Blake's Songs of Innocence. On the B side, Rocky takes on a passage from Jane Austen's Persuasion.

Naturally, Rocky also helped model some pieces from the collection, as did Jared Leto, Hari Nef, and Petra Collins. Watch the show here and peep the vinyl invite below.
