Carol Lim and Humberto Leon of shopping cult favorite, Opening Ceremony, have been named the new creative directors of Kenzo. The duo, who will still maintain their OC stores, will replace Antonio Marras, who has been designing for Kenzo since 2004. “It’s great to bring this young, contemporary generation into Kenzo,” said Pierre-Yves Roussel, chairman and chief executive officer of LVMH’s fashion division. “They’re really embracing what was the origin of Kenzo — that jungle spirit.” Carol and Humberto's first designs for Kenzo will debut in October for Spring 2012. We can't wait to see what the two self-proclaimed "fashion nerds" are going to dish up for the fashion house — are you excited?

Opening Ceremony Resort 2012
>> The first Resort collection from Opening Ceremony is a windswept mix of botanic prints and easy, music-festival-ready silhouettes. Look for lots of breezy '60s and '70s shapes — mod dresses, flowing palazzo pants, tiered halter tops, and wildflower skirts — all in a palette of blood orange, acid yellow and cobalt blue. Tim Barber shot the lookbook and Camille Rowe models.

Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony Resort 2012
>> Chloe Sevigny chose an old youth center gym in New York's Nolita neighborhood for her first ever Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony runway show. "The company has grown so much and we wanted people to be able to see the clothes," she explained, adding of her choice of location: "I wanted you to come in and be transported back to the way you felt when you were a teenager. Even little tiny things — the cinder blocks, the color blue of the walls. Anything that would trigger the senses to that time when you're questioning everything."
Laser-cut leather eyelet minidresses, pearl-studded flats, and shoulder-baring tops populated the Resort 2012 collection, some pieces of which — logo-printed crop tops and high-top sneakers, for instance — were done in collaboration with skateboard lifestyle brand Vision Street Wear. As for the diverse model cast — which included Jenny Shimizu, Christina Kruse, and Danielle Zinaich — Sevigny said: "I wanted to do young and old and different kind of body shapes. A girl you could see hanging out in Tompkins Square Park, or your friend, or your friend's pretty friend. I wanted to look like they could all be hanging out together. I didn't want unattainable beauty."
The collection is expected to hit stores in November, with prices ranging from $45 for a printed denim beret to between $175 and $1,100 for dresses.

Celeb Style: Chloë Sevigny
At last night's Hugo Boss party, Chloë Sevigny gave us a spunkier take on preppy wear. We love her spin on a blazer ($120) and button-down in crisp white on white, but it's her own cheeky footwear for Opening Ceremony ($395) and socks combo that sweetens the style. It's equal parts girlie, modern, and sexy-cool. Just click the pieces above to shop a similar look.

The Striped Shirt
>> The Breton striped shirt dates back to the 1900s, when it was originally worn by French fishermen. Then, in the '50s, icons like Audrey Hepburn, Coco Chanel, and Jean Seberg adopted the nautical print as their own. Fast forward to 2011, and fashion girls everywhere — think Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, Jenna Lyons, Mary Kate Steinmiller, and Lauren Santo Domingo — are still sporting renditions of the classic Breton top. While the timeless navy and white pattern will always remain a closet staple, designers continue to make it new with their own unique interpretation of the pattern. Who can forget the frenzy Prada created when it showed chunky, brightly-colored stripes on its Spring runway? Shop our picks to add a little je ne sais quoi to your look right now.

Tip: Borrow From the Boys
With so many options in women's fashion, why is it so satisfying to shop the men's section? It's seductive to see a woman throw on her boyfriend's shirt and look utterly, and effortlessly, sexy. There's a confidence associated with a woman who can assert her femininity even when clothed in men's silhouettes. There's also the thing about the fit: it's not tailored to our body, and the boxiness adds a bit of mystery and je ne sais quoi. Here's what we're shopping from the men's — and in one instance, the boys'— section. Maybe it's time to play tomboy.

It's a Collaborative Three-Way!
With designer collaborations a dime a dozen, how do you keep it exciting? By adding a third to the party. Collaboration king (or queen) Opening Ceremony is partnering with Lane Crawford on a pop-up shop, and they enlisted designers Alexander Wang, Pamela Love, and Band of Outsiders to design exclusive pieces to mark the occasion. Here's a sneak peek at the pieces from each designer — Alex Wang did a tee-shirt, Pamela Love did a skull necklace, and Band of Outsiders did ties. If you won't be in Hong Kong for the pop-up shop, you can always shop it online.
If you could put together the ultimate designer collaboration three-way, who would it be? Tell us in the comments!
