Opening Ceremony: high-end fashion for serious fashionistas

Opening Ceremony in Los Angeles, California

For the seriously meticulous fashionistas who really crave for designer clothes, Opening Ceremony in West Hollywood is for you... One of three branches (two of which are in New York) Opening Ceremony is a two-story house of good quality high-end fashion. Founders Carol Lim and Humberto Leon started operating this South California branch in April 2007. Formerly a dance studio of Hollywood's silent film star, Charlie Chaplin, this exquisite store can be considered a historical tinsel town landmark. Today, its 10,000-square foot expanse boasts great architectural design and furniture. Fine designer clothing is being showcased on OC's second level - a brilliantly conceptualized shop-in-shop mini mall. Find name brands like Acne, Nom de Guerre, Mayle, Topshop, Exquisite Costume, Schiesser Revival, DAP Art Books, Other Music, BOY, Band of Outsiders, and Opening Ceremony’s own private label collection.

"The key objective was to create individual “shops” for each designer, as if they were to open their own freestanding stores, but to combine them in an environment represented by Opening Ceremony."

You can also be sure the clothes are in season here. Merchandise buyers of Opening Ceremony surely know what trend is going on in the fashion arena. Plus, with its friendly attractive salespeople in an even aesthetically designed place, OC has created a great concept that makes shopping a worthwhile experience.
