A Jaunt to Opening Ceremony

If you are a frequent reader of Whiteboard Journal the name Opening Ceremony must be familiar Yes this concept store slash boutique has attained a cult status among fashion followers in New York and beyond Not only does it carry all the hippest brands it also regularly spurs collaborations with various designers And I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to check out its three outposts in Manhattan last month The first impression I had when opening the door of Opening Ceremony main store at 35 Howard Street was â œWow itâ s very psychedelic â The place was stacked floor to ceiling with clothes accessories and all sorts of knick knacks from myriad designers including those produced by O C â s design house itself It was by far my most interesting store browsing experience The feeling when you know that the polo shirt you are holding is from Band of Outsiders for example is ecstatic especially because itâ s impossible to find all these amazing brands back home I admit that it is going to be really hard to suspend that spending urge over here because well everything is Best Replica Buy Mechanical Handbags Prada Handbags In The World basically too tempting to pass Apparently my impulsive streak had pushed me to grab a Rodarte T shirt and bring it to the counter Aside from this the staffers are really nice as wellâ not to mention well advised and stylish in their hipster esque way And just next door there is Opening Ceremony Part Deux The place is on the second floor so you have to climb the staircase which is beautifully decorated by the lyrics of The Doorsâ s â œHello I Love You â This second store consists mostly of accessories from the covetable WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie leather goods to the O C â s own tote bags Cheap Where Prada To Buy Handbags Luxury Handbags You can also find the latest collections of Chloà Sevigny for Opening Ceremony and T by Alexander Wang which again are very hard to resist The other day I made a visit to the other Opening Ceremony branch inside the Ace Hotel It was decidedly smaller than the headquarters but what differs this one are the merchandises Seeing that it is situated inside a hotel establishment the place sells travel related souvenirs and tchotchkes like Kiehlâ s moisturizing cream O C X Tumi duffel bag and even toothbrushes and candies All in all going inside Opening Ceremony is a very rejuvenating experience The founders Humberto Leon and Carol Lim have managed to mix street style with high fashion and come up with something totally different and unique Even if you donâ t end up buying anything the place is very inspirational to peruse around So next time youâ re in Manhattan donâ t miss it Photos courtesy of Nico Novito and Opening Ceremony
