"View Slideshow\n\nFashion week is, of course, about the clothes. But hardly any designer can leave it at just that. Each has a vision in mind of exactly how he or she wants the world to see a collection, influenced, in large part, by what inspired its creation. In order to realize their own worlds each season, designers choose hair and makeup styles, music, lighting . . . and sets. The sets that frame, or in some cases reflect, the latest offerings show the clothes completely true to their designers\u2019 visions, before being reinterpreted by magazine editors, bloggers, and consumers. Sometimes they\u2019re surreal (see Marc Jacobs\u2019s fall 2012 backdrop by Rachel Feinstein). Often, as in the case of Chanel\u2019s, they can be otherworldly. And many times, they\u2019re just gorgeous, like the thousands of flowers delicately arrayed across the walls at Raf Simon\u2019s Dior debut\u2014there only to enhance the utter beauty of a couture dress. Here, AD selects the most creatively designed sets of the past few seasons.\n\nClick here to view a slide show of these provocative and transporting catwalks."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
