Since 2002, Opening Ceremony has raised the bar for cool in New York by introducing brands that become insider must-haves and massive trends. Perhaps you’ve heard of Havaianas and Topshop? You can thank founders Carol Lim and Humberto Leon for bringing them to our shores, from Brazil and the U.K., respectively. The Olympics tradition of relocating for each season inspired Opening Ceremony to feature designers from a different country in their retail stores every year. Young talents have successfully launched thanks to OC’s impeccable knack for discovering talent and potential. The Opening Ceremony stores and brand has expanded to Tokyo and LA and launched several collaborations with brands like Levi’s, the Muppets and Chloe Sevigny. A bonus passion for the OC team is eating—they regularly blog about local food finds, so we’re psyched that they’ll be lending their picking powers to NBSB.
