The conceptual birthplace of
Opening Ceremony
is Hong Kong (weee!), while co-founders Humberto Leon and Carol Lim had a vacation. When they returned to New York, they decided to open a Howard Street shop based on the aesthetic they saw overseas. Now, Leon and Lim are back to Hong Kong, collaborating with
Lane Crawford
.
Starting April 14 (for 1 month), Opening Ceremony will offer a "conceptual retail extension" in the Lane Crawford stores in Hong Kong and Beijing (April 16). There will be a
New York street scene
in Lane Crawford's Atrium section and turning the accessories section into a
Broadway stage
, complete with Rockettes. Another section of the store will be turned into a shrine to two of their most sought-after collaborations
Chloë Sevigny and Rodarte for Opening Ceremony
.
Chloë Sevigny
and Opening Ceremony have reunited to create a new collection of springtime dresses, leather jeans, knitwear, accessories, and shoes. In a collaboration with the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony offers a capsule of T-shirts featuring artwork by Robert Mapplethorpe.
An assortment of dramatic high heel clogs with natural wood soles comprise the Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony shoe collection, which are complemented by a special line of boots and shoes created in partnership with one of Chloë’s favorite brands of the 1980s and 1990s, NaNa.
Opening Ceremony and Lane Crawford will also create a cross-over collection, and put together a few unique three-way collaboration pieces including designs from
Alexander Wang, Carven, Band of Outsiders, Suno,
and
Pamela Love
.
Can't wait to see the pieces and Chloë at the party
