Retail: Opening Ceremony

Peter Jensen, Cacharel, Emma Cook, Christopher Kane

This month's issue of Elle features a very insightful story about Opening Ceremony, and its founders Humberto Leon and Carol Lim. The duo have helped launch the careers of American designers like Rodarte and Alexander Wang, while exposing overseas brands like Havianas, TopShop and Tsimori Chisato to the U.S. They also pioneered the re-vitalizing of American heritage brands like Pendleton and Timberland, and bringing them into the fashion world. Today, they boast stores in New York, LA, Tokyo, and Paris.

Above are a few of our favorite picks from their online store offerings.

Copenhagen Fashion Week | Peter Jensen

London-based Peter Jensen has come to be known for his mischievous playfulness and almost pervy themes. Little girl elements are woven seamlessly with grown-up sex appeal and fun. The inspiration for his SS11 collection comes from the birthday party of a girl friend he admired from childhood. Themes of presents, bows, and party chains create a unique and clever print story.
