Opening Ceremony designers Carol Lim and Humberto Leon, not known for sticking to the straightforward runway presentation, put on an ambitious and very wide-ranging show yesterday on the anniversary of September 11, dubbed the “Pageant of the People.”
Kim Gordon is having a pretty good 2015, to say the least. Sonic Youth’s former frontwoman released her memoir Girl in a Band earlier this year; she recently debuted a collaborative track called “Slow Boy” with J Mascis and she opened her first solo art show, The City is a Garden, at 303 Gallery in New York City.…
Last week, I received an email from Opening Ceremony’s newsletter, announcing that their collaboration with a lifestyle sport sandal brand was in stores after having sold out online.
