Opening Ceremony Amps Up Their E-Commerce

Reorganized and fully-stocked, Opening Ceremony's e-commerce site is starting to get serious. Which designers have they chosen to represent on the site? Rodarte, Meadham Kirchhoff, Peter Pilotto, Hussein Chalayan, Jeremy Scott, and Japanese brand G.V.G.V. among others. These often editorialized international brands are all quite difficult to find online, particularly for American consumers. Much like Colette, Opening Ceremony's site is quirky and chaotic but if we've learned anything from the French retailer, it's that looks can deceiving. Thanks in part to their re-vamped site, Colette is now a heavy hitter in the world of fashion and retail--not just a hip boutique in Paris. With these coveted brands on Opening Ceremony's site, not to mention their plans to expand into Japan, we'd say Colette isn't alone in that effort.

Quote Of The Day: Former CEO Of Jimmy Choo Robert Bensoussan Hails From "Fashionland"

Bensoussan grew up in Casablanca, surprisingly the hometown of many well-respected names in fashion.

by coutorture Bensoussan grew up in Casablanca, surprisingly the hometown of many well-respected names in fashion. Ralph Toledano, who has held the reigns at Chloe since 1999, and Sidney Toledano (not related to Ralph), the CEO of Christian Dior since 1998, were two of his best friends growing up. Also hailing from Morocco are Alber Elbaz, the current designer at Lanvin; the Marciano brothers, founders of the denim brand Guess; and Joseph Ettedgui, the London-based designer and retailer.

Shopping: Geological Studies And Digital Printing

Although this trend seems to be mostly a British one, we think it will come full circle in the seasons to come.

Although this trend seems to be mostly a British one, we think it will come full circle in the seasons to come. Some of fashion's most exciting new designers, like Peter Pilotto, Mary Katranzou and Josh Goot having been experimenting with geologic and nature-inspired prints alongside well-known designers like Alexander McQueen. These digital prints create a strong visual impact and are paving the way for a whole new set of trends to originate in the seasons to come.
