Check Out Opening Ceremony's Fresh Fall 2012 Collection

Chi Diem Chau — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:12:42 PDT

For Opening Ceremony's Fall 2012 collection, designers Humberto Leon and Carol Lim created a cozy collection inspired by the natural wonders of Patagonia. With a focus on textures and prints inspired by the great outdoors, the duo created a sporty luxe collection comprised of printed trousers, puffer coats, lace-inset sweatshirts, and body-con fleece dresses. Tempering the casual aesthetic were refined touches via leather trim, Mongolian fur, and metallic finishes. Meanwhile, the brand's accessory offerings ranged from round red sunglasses to chunky lace-up boots and chic printed loafers. The collection is definitely a slightly more mature take compared to their past collections, but nonetheless true to Humberto and Carol's whimsical cool style. Check out our top three looks below, then click the slideshow to see the complete collection.

We love this leather and tweed moto jacket. It's equal parts polish and tough girl, and perfect for pairing with cropped trousers and pleated midi skirts.
A dressy sweatshirt might come off as an oxymoron, but we can't resist this lace and fleece sweatshirt.
Car coats are a huge Fall trend. This rendition gives the trend a modern spin thanks to the bright cobalt leather trim.

We've all owned a pair of Keds in our lifetime and now, just a mere 95 years after the brand was first conceived, Keds is launching a clothing line. The limited-edition Resort collection is set to launch exclusively during the holiday weekend on Black Friday at Opening Ceremony stores and on its website. There will be 85 styles to shop from and judging from the sneak peek below, we expect to see a preppy-meets-cool collection of printed dresses (we love the adorable Peter Pan collar), varsity-inspired sweaters, and tailored tops ranging from $48 to $400. We can't wait to grab a piece for ourselves and, since it's the holiday season, one for our BFF. What are your thoughts on the collection?

Sneak Peek - Rodarte For Opening Ceremony Fall Lookbook

Chi Diem Chau — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 08:42:32 PDT

The Rodarte X Opening Ceremony collaboration has been a match made in heaven since its inception in February - and the love is still going strong for Fall. For their second collection with OC, designers Laura and Kate Mulleavy culled inspiration from Scandinavia, creating a soft and textural collection comprised of long silhouettes, pretty blush hues, and fur coats. The lookbook, modeled by twins Gwen and Donna Loos, shows a nice mix of themes with silk ruffled maxidresses, mohair cardigans, and Fair Isle knits for the girly girl and black leather skirts, sheer dresses, and long-haired fur toppers for the dark angel. The collection will be available early in October both in stores and online. Here are some Fall pointers we gleaned from the collection:

Pink is here to stay. Instead of a hot pink hue, opt for lighter blush tones come cooler weather.
Get textural. We love all of the furs, ruffles, and embellishments seen in this collection.
Embrace printed trousers. Instead of opting for a pretty LBD at your next dressed-up event, experiment with a pair of standout trousers.

Now peep the complete lookbook in the slideshow.
