We gave you a sneak peek at this much awaited collection from Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, now to delve a bit deeper. Much interest in the Opening Ceremony founders first menswear outing for the French house, turns out all the hype was well deserved. Kenzo have never really been afraid of a bit of colour so the pairing seemed a perfect match. Young, bright, plenty of print and enough wearable pieces to appease the more reserved out there, this was a spot on presentation. From slim overcoats to waist bomber jackets and oversized parkas, outerwear was the star of the show. Paisley and orange found their way onto the catwalk, as popular as ever, but everything was toned down with various shades of brown and navy. Full marks. More looks at WWD.

Duffels are the new backpack. Only joking, there’s no new backpack. There are backpacks and then there are other bags and you’re at liberty to pick whichever one suits your lifestyle best. Perhaps you might consider this collaboration between Opening Ceremony and Dubbel Duffle.

The company was a child of the 70’s, as the label might suggest, and was rediscovered by accessory designer China Young who set about bringing it back to life. Limited to 30 in each colourway, expandable to double its size, lightweight with over-sized reinforced handles that allow it to be carried rucksack or messenger style. The bag for all seasons. Find it at OC. (coolhunting)

This is a technically a streetwear piece but you know the drill by now, the lines are blurring, it’s all one jumble, yada yada. This Sevigny/Opening Ceremony/Vision Streetwear collaboration is basically the ’90s distilled into a single garment. And like Chloe Sevigny, it looks a bit odd but it works. Opening Ceremony has it.

A great compliation of the best moments from the O.C. video booth from Fashion’s Night Out 2012.

Highsnob shares these looks form the Opening Ceremony Fashion’s Night Out Event this past week. The carnival-like atmosphere was brought together to showcase not only new collaborative products, but bring together some of New York’s finest. FNO is a great night for a great cause.

More Fashion’s Night Out exclusives for the day. Opening Ceremony works with Prism on a pair of espadrilles that bypass the usual cotton upper for leathers that give the classic slip-on a rather distinct look. The jute sole remains the constant. A couple of models to choose from. Find them at the O.C.

Here’s one for the chunky shoe lovers. We’d heard rumours of the world going sleek but, like most menswear trends, it’s taking an eternity to actually happen. Until that day we’ll be clomping around like Godzilla in fancy footwear. We wonder what foot width Godzilla would’ve been anyway? (B Store)

More O.C. specials coming down way for this year’s Fashion’s Night Out. Jansport delivers a varuety of styles from their heritage line in bold ways for the Opening Ceremony exclusives. “Each backpack or mini tote comes with an Opening Ceremony victory sign patch, applied wherever you like on the bag at FNO.” Good looks.

Fashion’s Night Out gets another hit from the KEDS and Opening Ceremony world. The toile killed it last year and their new baseball inspired “Championship Series” may do the same. Three colorways will be dropping all of which show that baseball-like stitching on the upper. Pulled from the archives and made new again.

Highsnob previews the new men’s collection from Rodarte for Opening Ceremony. “The new collection features for a the first time also a wider selection of goods for men, including pants, shirts, pants and knitwear. As usual Rodarte impresses with the knitwear and especially the patterns, which came out unique and beautiful, while still having a rather classic appeal.”
