Backstage at Opening Ceremony Fall/Winter 2014

Last week's Opening Ceremony Fall/Winter 2014 show was not your average runway experience. It's hard to pick just one stand out moment, between the 4000 pounds of chocolate that cascaded down a 160-foot wall, to the hot cocoa and Wonka-style chocolate bars given to attendees. But the action really began backstage long before any of the guests were seated in the chocolate-scented room at Spring Studios. Amid the thick haze of BUMBLE AND BUMBLE hairspray and manicurists rapidly applying Essie nail polish, our photographer Brayden Olson captured all the pre-show excitement, including the models in their full looks before they hit the runway. Here are some of the highlights from backstage at Opening Ceremony's Fall/Winter 2014 show.
